Thing 2 - RSS

Technically Things 1 and 2 could have been combined into one post, but I prefer to separate them out into smaller chunks. My previous experience of RSS was limited to a brief exploration after being enthused by Phil Bradley at a training course that I attended a few years ago. I thought they were a great idea for keeping up to date without having to visit lots of different websites, but never got beyond adding a couple to the feeds tab on my favourites list on Internet Explorer. Now that I can put them all in one place on iGoogle where I can actually see the headlines and not just the number of new items, I may be tempted to use them more.
