thing 3

i have always been wary of RSS feeds. it reminds me (and now i really sound like a ya librarian) of the M.T. Anderson book Feed in which all these teenagers are having a steady stream of advertising pumped directly into their heads... between my personal and work emails, cell phone, car radio, television, etc. i feel like i receive a steady stream of electronic information as it is. so i have been hesitant to subscribe to any websites or blogs, opting instead to bring myself to the information if and when i need and want it. so, i went through the motions and signed up for three blogs that i'm always wishing i had a little more time to read. But, unless this RSS can feed me some extra time, i'm still skeptical.
