Week 6: RSS Feeds and Rollyo

Things have been a little crazy-busy of late, hence the looonng break between weeks but I'm back and determined to finish the Joneses 2.0 - sheez, there is just about a Joneses 3.0 out after all!

Bloglines - makes organising your RSS feeds a breeze and was very easy to set up. The signup process is quick and painless and it has a simple to use interface, which allows you to group feeds into different folders. I subscribed to a couple of different feeds including book reviews, word of the day and science blogs.

Rollyo - is a personal search engine that you customize with a list of your own choice of URLs to search. I created a Reference based list which means that the results of my search will only be retrieved from these sites. I could see the potential for this for those that are doing very specific research but for me personally - i don't think that I would use it.
