Library equivalent of Slashdot?
Ok, so it’s not quite as dramatic as the /. effect, which regularly brings down servers when millions of visitors rush off to check the mentioned site, but late on Monday night, Jenny Levine, the Shifted Librarian, mentioned my site.

Leigh thinks Librarians Rock
Leigh came on my radar several months ago when I was playing around with translation services; he’s involved in online education. Gotta love it when someone posts with a title of Librarians Rock! I don’t think I have any librarian feeds from Australia, so I’ve added his recommended feed.

RSS to Email wrapup
Last month I posted about and got some really good feedback and suggestions on an RSS to email solution. I just wanted to wrap that up here for those of you who don’t get the comments. The two best solutions seem to be RSSFwd and Rmail, both of which, with a minor amount of HTML…

Using Blogdigger to create custom category RSS feeds
I love the Inkernets. Just the other day I helped Richard with something, and now he goes and posts this. I suspect it may have been Carolyn who put the category RSS bug in both our ears. Freakishly coincidental is the fact that not 3 hours ago I was poking at Feedburner to see if…
