RSS Feeds

If I don't have to look all over for things I will be more likely to scan stuff.
Technology in personal life....Keep updated on sales at favorite on-line stores.
Technology in library life.....Keep track of best sellers and teen reading lists.
I think the best tool for finding feeds is to just be aware of the sites you go to and if the have a feed maybe/not subscribe.
I only visited the feeeds you suggested but my blogline is set up know so all I have to do is add to it.
No great sources yet.... will blog when I find one/two/three....

Twitter

Twitter: I think that if I was on vacation this would be a great was to give play by plays on my daily activities. I'll think about it some more but on an hourly or daily basis I don't carry my cell around with me (Work rules) and the computer is for business use. At home I don't even check my laptop every evening.... It was a very informative lesson and I can talk about twitter and know where to go to get more info. Dawn

How hard can it be to create a blog?

That 5 minutes to success slogan didn't work for me. I had to watch the tutorial to find out that I don't have to create a google account to have a blog. I can use my yahoo mail. The rest was easy. I do update the library blog/web page. Updates and edits shouldn't be a problem.

Easy /Hard for Life Long Learning

First the easy issues of being a life long learner.
I find it easy to teach or mentor others
I find it easy to play, too easy.
I have a decent start on a tool box.

Now for the Hard to do things.
I need to get my goals in writing.
Technology should be advantages but...I truely undermines my confidence as a competent learner.
Problems are challenges. Therefore my learning curve is big.
You would think that after all these years of challenges I would do a better job of accepting that everything is going to be difficult. I'm smart. I'm articulate. Why won't a simple "print the attachment" button work for me ????

I therefore must accept responsibility for my own learning.
