RSS Basics - Information Trapping: Real-Time Research on the Web - page 35

Figure 2.1 your Bloglines account starts with a feed already in place—
for Bloglines news.
From here the possibilities are almost endless, especially for information
trappers who are always out to expand their sources. For instance, look at
each entry and notice they have individual “Email his” and “Clip/Blog
his” links. he “Email his” link does what you'd expect: it gives you a
pop-up window where you can ill out an e-mail address to send the entry to
and write a message about it. he “Clip/Blog his” link it gives you another
pop-up window with an area in which to “clip” the information from the
story that you want. Ater clipping, you can publish it to a “Clip Blog” avail-
able at Bloglines, or you can ile it in a Bloglines-based clipping ile if you
want to save it for later.
All of this discussion barely scratches the surface of Bloglines. It's a sturdy
RSS reader—you can cram a lot of feeds into it, it lets you do a lot with those
feeds, and it also incorporates extensive feed discovery tools in with the
feed reading. If you have a moderate-to-heavy amount of RSS research you
want to keep up with, and you use diferent computers, I can't recommend
Bloglines enough. It's a great feed reader.
