RSS feeds

Weighing up the benefits of i) having updates to all my favourites beamed to Google Reader and ii) the pressure of having increasing lists of unread updates.

So I'm RSSing:

John Peel wiki updates
Oxfordshire news
Cherwell news
JISC podcasts
Science Library pad
News from Times Higher ed.
Oxford Ornithological society
and my fellow RSL bloggers

It's an odd mix of the personal and professional and not quite sure if I'm comfortable with blurring the two. It's possible to create folders for the RSS feeds but it's too tempting to dump it all on one screen.

Also, some key websites (Shaksper Shakespeare discussion; oxford Nightshift magazine) don't have RSS feeds yet so I'm still grappling with having to check the websites for updates.
