I think the biggest advantage to using RSS over favourites, or bookmarks, is the information comes to you, rather than constantly checking to see if there have been any additions made to the sites - this information is automated, hopefully saving time and effort. As is becoming more the case, being ruthless with what sites you add will ensure that only information you desperately want to stay up to date with is sent through. I sometimes think we swamp ourselves with over information and instead of this being another way to receive more, let it be a way of screening.

The sites in this test example are ones which are on my favourites and that I often access. However, I will probably reevaluate this and cull if neccessary.

This technology will be useful in a work context, again by screening if any sites have been updated, instead of wasting time unnessarily screening sites which may not have changed.

Libraries will definitely be able to use this new information by adding links to the Library blogs to sites which its members would be interested in accessing.
