Thing 4 RSS

How do you handle information overload and how do you think RSS might help with that?

This was the big question we had to answer and this simple question turned into a four day ordeal. I feel RSS will save me a lot of time and enable me to be more organized with the information I am seeking and the learning I am engaging in. However, it has also been a good way for me to learn.

I made the mistake of responding on the ISD blog instead of going to my own blog to post my response. I waited and waited and waited and it did not show up. Gee what happened. Sooo I did it again.

I started doing the next Thing and again things didn't work. I never received the confirmation e-mail to set up my bloglines account. To make a long story short, after help from the great ISD staff, I have discovered that I already had an account on bloglines, I must have done it a couple of years ago at a media specialist meeting. Good tip for all of you, use the same password as much as possible. The way I discovered I had an account is I tried the other password I usually use. (I created a new one for this project and have been using it on everything new I have been doing.) Bingo, I was into my account and discovered I had already added some blogs. I have learned sooo much in the last four days because I spent that time looking at all your blogs to see if you were progressing or if something was wrong with the system. I have learned so much and I appreciate the comments I am receiving on my blog. This is a great way for us to learn from each other and help each other.
