Thing 4 - RSS Feeds, Twitter, Storify

Firstly, I love Twitter!  I tried it years ago, and it seemed pointless, then as it became more popular I tried it again a couple of year ago and really got into it.  I have two accounts, a private one and a work account (@SiobhanWGLib), which I have on my smartphone.  I do like the spontaneity of it, although some people have had issues with this!  It's good for conferences, and generally getting the zeitgeist of whatever subject you may like.  There is also plenty of nonsense, as well as Justin Beiber, for some reason.  So, swiftly moving onto RSS feeds - I have set some of these up, and they are a great idea for keeping track of loads of different websites, without having to visit each one separately.
Storify is something that I hadn't tried before, and it reminds me of paper.li, which creates a newspaper out of your twitter feed.  This is even better, though, as you can add all sorts of social media and other websites to create your story.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work on my work computer, but I will try it at home, because it's the sort of thing that I may find very useful in the future.

Thing 4 again!

I have finally sorted out how to add Twitter to my blog - it was very simple (once I worked out what it was) - the original template didn't allow the design to be changed, and as soon as I did, it all updated very nicely!  A bit odd that the default isn't fully functional, but it's finally sorted.

So now I can move on to RSS feeds.  I decided to use Google reader, as this was most convenient.  I am really impressed - it is hard to keep track of different webpages, checking for updates, and so on, and I can see this will be of great use.  It would be nice if it could be ordered into different subjects, but it's still a good idea. 

As for Pushnote, I can't download that at work, so I'll have to leave it, perhaps, to try at home. I do use Stumbleupon at home, and it sounds similar.
