RSS Feeds

When will RSS feeds come to advertising? I didn't realize how many commercial websites I check up on to find out about specials and deals. But when I looked to syndicate them, alas, there was no RSS/XML/syndicate button. That would save me more time than linking to news sites. I generally just visit the NYTimes for that info.

I had trouble finding a working RSS button for my favorite football team, the Washington Redskins. I thought it could be because it is the off-season, but news still happens then, too. I was going back and forth from their ESPN, NFL, and Sports Illustrated home pages, without luck. Only one page had an RSS button, and Bloglines couldn't pick up their feed. However, the Mets RSS was simple to find...MLB.com.

How can libraries take advantage of RSS? I think a good reference librarian would set up her bloglines to show top library, local and world news in order to keep up with the information flow...which is the real trick, isn't it?

Here is my public Bloglines URL:
