The Shifted Librarian: Why RSS and Folksonomies Are Becoming So Big
I'm noticing something very surprising with my Web search habits: I'm not using Google as often as I used to. The shock. The horror.
Nowadays, I'm using RSS, blogs, delicious, and other communication and information sharing tools that allow my peers and colleagues to discover and share information among interested community members.

McGill 'Gateway' website implements RSS
The other day, while browsing the Web with Firefox, I arrived at the McGill University gateway webpage. I was surprised to see that Firefox's LiveBookmark feature lit up like a Christmas tree. It had found a RSS feed.
A RSS feed on the McGill University gateway webapge?
Yes, it's true. I think this implementation is great. The database-driven content that the system pushes out normally appeared in little system built modules. Now that same content, while still available in the usual system modules, is available as an RSS feed.
Kudos to the Web Services Group, the McGill unit behind the McGill gateway system.
