At our Development and Implementation wider group I provided an overview of RSS – mainly focusing on aggregation using  Google Reader which is my preferred tool with respect to this but I also referred to Netvibes . Not many members of the group use RSS to provide updates on resources and information. I also referred to the fact that some projects are using RSS to disseminate new resources, whilst others are using harvesting, an approach we will probably consider taking in the future. I, also, mentioned that RSS was being complemented by Twitter for the delivery and updating of resources. I suggested that those that had not used RSS should go away and do a bit of experimenting, as individuals approach this differently, for example I do a combination of searching for feeds via google reader and setting up a feed when I visit a site that has this facility – complimented by Twitter via Tweetdeck. I also made referrence to these two excellent videos on RSS  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0klgLsSxGsU and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJinqplM0bY.
