I have subscribed to Bloglines for about 6 months, and like the fact that it does the searching for me. It sniffs out information, news, reviews and puts it all in one place. I have requested so many feeds I have trouble keeping up with all the information gathered. I will keep my eyes open for more feeds to add to my list.
I would like to see the library using this to add book reviews, lists to our website. I know that the RA desk puts out paper copies of the NYT book review, it might be interesting to see if people would look at it online... I am obsessed with getting book suggestions for anyone and everyone, and would love to get unsolicited, unlimited reviews and/or suggestions.
I did try to add Unshelved and the RSS address did not seem to be correct. I do have a little trouble with the way Bloglines is presented, I am distracted by the narrowed screen, and wonder if the information could be presented in a more readable way. I know that I can minimize, shrink the search/list screen but I am still having to slide the text back and forth...
Come with me as I stumble along the path to being tech savvy. BPL 2.0 was only the beginning!

Hi Melissa--
Good work on RSS feeds. Sounds like you're an old hand at it. If Bloglines bugs you, maybe try Google's reader. I've used both and prefer Google, I think.
Also, it's funny how, in the interest of organizing these feeds all in one place, you can get overwhelmed all over again because there's so much interesting out there, you subscribe to it all, and then you're flooded with feeds! At least that's been my experience....
