Have jumped ahead to RSS feeds

I have jumped ahead to RSS feeds. I have a little bit of experience with this technology, I have a My Yahoo page and use it every day. I found the Google reader just a easy to use and I added a few of my favorite blogs and feeds. You have to be careful about what you put onto your reader, I have not used it in 2 days and I had over 180 feeds. I can see the usefulness of this technology though and could be an interesting addition to a staff intranet or even on our website. It would be great if the library could use this technology so that other cultural institutions could see what we are doing, exhibitions and new and interesting acquisitions etc. I guess alot of WEB2.0 tech could be used by libraries it would just be a case of seeing what worked best you us as a library and a government organisation.
