Bloglines

I've signed up for a Bloglines account, and am impressed with the amount of information I have at my fingertips, should I ever have the time to read it all. There are a couple of pretty interesting library-related feeds, Library Juice and The Shifted Librarian (I got hooked on the Free Rice game for a bit). Library Juice publishes books about the intersection of libraries, politics, and culture and in a public library this is good stuff to be on top of. The Shifted Librarian seems like it is very much about culture and libraries and the future. I also signed up for Librarian's internet Index, also good for staying abreast of library developments.
I also signed up for a few personal interest feeds, including Harper's, a favorite magazine, and Alternative Energy blog, which has some pretty interesting articles. I threw in NYC book review (hopefully of use professionally), and a few other National Geographic-esque feeds.
My biggest concern now is whether or not I'd ever be able to digest all this information...

The Prize!

...oh, and some good exposure to new stuff like Flickr, and RSS, and all the new tools out there on the web that I have never really explored before. Plus, I've always sort of wanted a blog, just needed a REAL reason to go get one. And then actually post stuff on it. There is a blog that I started ages ago, floating in cyberspace I suppose. I can't even remember what it's called. There are other good reasons to participate in Web 2.HUH? training, like reading what colleagues like to write about, and seeing the kinds of names we all come up with. Good team building/camaraderie stuff.
I suppose the real answer to the question of why I am participating in Web 2.Huh? is because I have to, but were it not mandatory I would still have done it just for fun and exploration of it all!
