Bloglines is another application, like blogs, that I have been using for awhile. I am subscribed to all of the blogs I mentioned in my Thing #1 post and more.
I also have a MyYahoo page. I find it helpful to keep personal things on my Yahoo page (like TV listings, weather, news, movie times, etc.) and library-related blogs on my Bloglines account.
The library blogs are an invaluable way to keep up with the rapid changes in the library field and in technology. It is very helpful to have them all in one place, in a nice organizaed list.
Another area of blogging that has been growing rapidly in the last couple of years is blogging conferences. All of the major library conferences - ALA, PLA, Internet Librarian, Computers in Libraries - they all encourage, and often are instrumental in organizing, attendees to blog about the sessions they attend. Those of us who are not there can often attend virtually through the blogs.
I would not be surprised if this phenomenon morphs into more online virtual conferences. Thing os the savings in time and money, to be able to attend ALA from your office!
If you are interested in which blogs I read regularly, you can see my subscriptions here.
