Helpful leads especially for patrons. However, I like the leads to new books and videos. An error message comes up for the NY Times Book Reviews, which I would subscribe to.
RSS allows a patron to get some more information as well as information found on the main page via a different route.

While I was looking for a lease I subscribed to:

Checked out on:

Summaries are helpful, but actually getting into the book allowed me to get a real feel for it. This is really nice.

It's a great way to manage photos for someone who can't even manage a photo albumn. :-)

I always enjoy YouTube. It's like google, you just type in a word a a whole new world opens up. I checked out their collaboration videos and found it amusingly interactive. Just think what we can do at meetings. :-)
So many of the videos can be used in programs, especially involving teens. Its a way to get information across in a cool way.
