RSS Readers

For the last year or so, I've been using NetVibes for my RSS Reader. I started using it when Google discontinued its "homepage" product. It was recommended in some article I read about replacements for the Google product.

I like that it is easy to add RSS feeds, and that you can easily change the interface from an integrated reader to its "application" page that allows you to view each feed in its own context. Here is what the integrated reader looks like:


I don't have a lot of feeds set up ... mostly because I am easily overwhelmed with too much data. I have been pretty happy with the Library Journal InfoDocket feed since it covers a wide range of library news.

I hope to add a few more blogs into the mix in the next year, since I'm going to be working harder at doing more professional reading around digital collections issues. Lots of folks blog on this topic, but some are really technical. I need to find good feed(s) that cover policy issues but also covers technical issues enough to keep me informed without making my eyes glaze over!
