Thing 4: Current awareness - Twitter, RSS and Storify

I already have a Twitter account, which I usually only use when I am at conferences like the ALIA Biennial in Sydney. It's great keeping up with the presentations and I got good feedback for the paper I co-presented!

I am new to Storify. I created an account, but haven't got a lot of time right now to learn about it. I will check out some of the other participants use of Storify to get an idea how it works.

I find Google RSS most useful. I have a stack of personal and professional blogs that I follow. I an set them up in folders, which is great, and there are some useful iPad apps for reading RSS feeds, like Flipboard or Reeder. The professional blogs I like are:
