Feed Me, See-More (thing #8)

what can i say about Bloglines except yummm!

RSS Feeds are like an information smoothie; you put in the raw web pages (with their flashing ads and diversionary tactics) - grind them up - extract the usable content - and present it in a clean format that saves you valuable search time.

theyre faster than using Internet Explorer favorites for surfing - easier to browse than internet - and personalized for the user (with options for blogging about news items or easy email forwarding for sharing news items with friends.)

the interface resembles a table of contents - and thats essentially what it is; the book in this case being a Frankenstein monster of my own informational needs ;)

my recipe for madness?

take a healthy dose of library science, add some liberally slanted news, a dash of techie, some establishment propaganda (keep your enemies close - im looking at you CNN), a touch of finance news, and voila!!!
