- Phil Bradley's fave !
Weaknesses
- slightly cumbersome to add a new feed (can't just darg and drop)
- slightly old looking / feeling (is it still being developed?)
Opportunities
- Could use with researchers to show them how to get RSS for journals, WOS searchers - Our own CPD in LS - RSS from our webpages when re-launched? - Supporting academics in setting up RSS displays in webct (we managed to do this, but slightly faffy) - exporting and importing of feeds using OPML [CPD use? eg one person on a group / project sets up feeds and exports to all other members ] Need to test - promoting tools for finding blogs / RSS = technorati etc - RSS from our own blogs
Threats
- another tool to learn for users - would be useful to agree preferred RSS aggregator within LS, so we can fully exploit
