A picture of an RSS (from Google Images - www.thorlabs.com/images/rss.png) . Classical music, a day in history, h2g2, are now available daily. What more could I want? - just 'absorption time' I guess - so looked up 'time' and find Time magazine photo essays -better have those as well.

Usefulness? -having audio news reads for the sight impaired - this sort of technology can help improve daily life.

For library stuff: Already subscribe to Library Link of the Dayhttps://mail.shorelibraries.govt.nz/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.tk421.net/librarylink/ (archive, rss, subscribe options) this is enough. I found it easier to type (RSS and subject ) into google or go directly to a particular website to obtain link than trolling through the myriad of material on Bloglines, Topix, Syndic8 or Technorati.
