Why I’m Better Than an RSS Feed
I begin each work day by compiling a set of clips. It’s a task that fell in my lap a few years ago and it’s probably my least favorite daily duty and the task I would most like to hand to someone else. (I love my job. I really do. So I’ll keep doing this task along with all the good, nifty, fun things I do.) Ever since I heard the comment last week that an RSS feed is like a librarian, I’ve really been thinking about the tasks I do and how they relate to feeds. Finding the clips every morning is the most closely related task. I would love to have that process syndicated so that I can have 1-4 hours of my day to do other things and the people who rely on those clips can still get them. . . .
