Thing 30 - more ways to use RSS & Delicious

For this thing I chose to update my RSS feeds in Blogline. After searching for resources to add and getting them entered, I was disappointed to see that once I clicked into a feed and then left it, Blogline defaulted to the entire feed being read. This meant that when I went back into the feed moments later, I got the Blogline splash page instead. I literally then had to click into the source to resume reading the content. This seemed like a wasted click to me. I know, in the grand scheme of things, it's just one click. But for me, it was one too many. I looked all over the site to try and change the setting, but found nothing.

So I moved on to Delicious. For this activity, I finally updated and organized my existing favorites, and also found a few more. I then imported them into Delicious. I like that I can now have them available at any time.

However, these two activities made me really think about how I wanted to access and make available all the many resources that I have found. So... I actually created another blog in Blogger (I like this format over some of the other options out there) where I added RSS feeds, links, videos, etc. of all the resources that I have found helpful. I think that I will probably end up using this web tool the most - in the past I have looked up items in my 23 Things on a Stick blog - so this step seemed like a natural progression.

As I have said before, learning about these many tools has been great. Better yet, I now have a useful place for me to find all the great information and resources that I have learned about. Plus I can easily share it with others!
