I reckon I've spent about an hour and a half playing with Bloglines and RSS feeds. I certainly feel I have a bit more of an understanding, however I'm sure I've really only found the tip of the iceberg. I'm finding it quite difficult to find the time to really evaluate all these wonderful tools, and I am falling behind (supposed to be on Week 6 now, oh well).
I think it will be good to be able to see all the interesting things that are occurring out there in Internet Land. I would like to find more time to really have a look at the News Feeds. The last company I worked for was really pushing this just as I left and I could see the potential but I never really had a full understanding of how it was utilised.
Push technology has come a long way and is so sophisticated. I guess when you are time poor this is a godsend, however are we time poor because there is too much information and we are being information gluttons? I think of the "poor people" in Africa who are theoretically "so poor" yet how much richer they are in relationships because they are concentrating on the things that matter rather than seeing how many feeds they can fit in their day..... rant over. Batman will now go back to the bat cave :)

You're right, rss feeds can help us deal with information overload, but even with them we have to remember the really important things in life.
You're doing well, keep up the good work!
