It was nice to revisit Bloglines and learn how to subscribe to tags in Delicious. With Bloglines/RSS it hasn't become a habit for me. I don't choose to make time for it in my life. In my workday, I can't just go online and search.. I think I would use it more if I had a desk job or had any amount of downtime in my day. So, this would have to be done in the evenings where time is precious and divided in many ways.
It was not so easy to subscribe to tags in Delicious...well, not like the video showed so that should be updated. The "tags to watch" button was not there anymore...probably due to updates on the site. I eventually figured it out and then realized I don't have a bookmarklet for Bloglines. I have to go my Favorites. That took time to remember as well. I guess it's because I use Internet Explorer.?
Do you recognize new benefits of this tool?
I like the fact that Delicious subscription items can be on Bloglines. I would need to check them both, but even if I did it once a week, I would be further ahead than I have ever been. I really do want to stay abreast on best practices and developments in my field. I think these tools would help me the most.
Web 2.0 changes so quickly, we have a hard time keeping our instructional videos updated. We will update that one for Delicious.
ReplyDeleteGlad you worked around it!
