Week 4, Thing 8

I love the idea of RSS feeds. I spend a large part of my day trying to find out what book/movie titles have been featured on tv, are in the news, have been blogged about, or have appeared in book sections of any paper a customer may have seen. Obviously, this is harder now than ever before because customers have access to many more information sources than ever before. The idea that I can have so many of them waiting for me in one location just seems so much easier.

Several people in our department have been using RSS feeds for a while now to monitor things like the NYT or Washington Post book sections. I definitely plan to continue to use this.
