How to scan blog posts quickly

In my post yesterday about blogs on catalogs and cataloging, I offered a long list of sites to check out. If you're wondering how I can possible read all of those blogs posts, let me confess that I don't. Instead, I scan them quickly and only read some of them in full. "But Stephen," you may say, "I can't be expected to go to a dozen different blog sites every day to check to see if there are new posts there!" I'd say, "No, you can't be expected to do that, but if you set up a (free) account in a feed reader like Bloglines or Google Reader you can then have one web page that you go to that receives all the new blog posts from the blogs you are interested in."

Want that explained visually? OK, then check this video by Lee LeFever out, which I found via the perpetually useful blog by medical librarian David Rothman.

There are two types of Internet users, those that use RSS and those that don't. This video is for the people who could save time using RSS, but don't know where to start.
