Really Simple Syndication is a file format that allows users to keep track of regularly updated information on various sites, Bloglines allows users to add RSS feeds and create a dashboard to keep track of various feeds  in one place. Libraries could use this to provide patrons with access to different sites that could be considered great resources, such as political newsfeeds, stocks, and technology and information journal feeds. Bloglines also has a section that allows users subscribe to group feeds that are geographically based, such as the New York Blogs group- this allows subscribers to follow different types of groups. One such group follows community news, real estate, restaurant, and entertainment news from different sites.
