Things 8 and 9

Setting up my Bloglines account was easy, and subscribing to several RSS feeds was smooth as well. I chose my library-related feeds and several news feeds I often visit. I also subscribed to my son's college RSS feed and my hometown newspaper. It is nice to have all these information sources in one place, however, I am not sure that I would use this means over just opening the one I am interested in at any given time. It seems sort of like having a stack of newspapers and magazines by the chair and browsing through them, and I don't often have time for that kind of browsing at my computer. Merlin is a nice source for library information and I hope to use it more, now that I have become acquainted.
