I think it might be easier to setup your own Bloglines newsreader account, and then learn about RSS feeds while experiencing them. It was pretty easy to get things set up, but a lot harder trying to learn what it was without having done it.
In any case, I do rather like having a Bloglines account, and RSS is pretty neat. I don't really read blogs much, nor news online, though, so it's not simplifying my life that much. However, it is quite useful for keeping track of other 23 things blogs, so that's fairly helpful.
When SCPL introduced RSS for tracking new items to the collection, I set up a live bookmark for J Fiction. However, I had forgotten about it for many months, and only now, that we are doing 23 things, have I returned to checking it.
There's probably all sorts of neat things that the library could do with RSS, but I'm not feeling tremendously visionary. All I can say is that I'm less ignorant than before, so that's something.
