Until this exercise I'd never heard of RSS and Newsfeeds, even though they have been around since 1999. I found the Feedme Palinet tutorial and Using Bloglines tutorial very informative and clear and can see the value of Newsfeeds as a great tool for keeping up to date with the latest information/trends in a profession or a subject you are personally interested in - and as a communication tool. The down side is the sheer volume of material - are there enough hours in the day? - and as Julie said, it is very addictive.... I noted that a browser such as Firefox can be used enabling automatic notification of new items to be read. I looked for a number of newsfeeds on some subjects of personal interest with no success. Maybe they were too specialised? Anyway the exercise was interesting.
