My first blog

Well look who's blogging?  It took a class exercise to make me do this!  I was hesistant enough to get on Facebook until my 20 year high school reunion started hooking people on FB.  And now I have to blog too?  Well, so far so good, the hardest part was creating a name and URL for this thing.  So I decided to go with part of a "Jesus Christ Superstar" song title.  The nice thing is it is totally versatile since now I can blog about anything that is "buzzworthy".  I have found this particular lab exercise very interesting.  It covers a lot of recent technology that are being integrated into libraries today.  I can now tell my co-worker what an RSS feed is, since he recently subscribed to one.  So Dave if you are reading this you are both bored and finding out that it stands for Really Simple Syndication.  Obviously not created by a graduate of you know where...  

Well I'm a little off topic but it's my blog and that's how I tend to be.  I do find it interesting how all the emerging technologies seem to blend together in a lot of different ways.  A DJ I listened to growing up, Steve Dahl, just started a podcast.  His use of Facebook was instrumental in how he got the word spread about his podcast.  Facebook can be a great marketing tool.  But how long it lasts is the big question.  Blogs on the other hand and RSS are here to stay or so it seems.
