BlogBridge is a really interesting idea for an aggregator, a Java-based client that you can run from any computer. They host your subscriptions on their server so you can access them from anywhere. It’s got a lot of potential, and I’m not just saying that because they asked me to put together a starter list of recommendations for library feeds.

Jenny Levine Joins Us as a Topic Expert for Library Blogs

“If you are interested in  libraries or are involved with them, you should definitely check out Jenny's  recommendations….

The list of recommendations come directly from the topic expert, and is first announced in our blog. At the same time they are added to our growing directory (on the left) as well as integrated into the BlogBridge application as part of our 'suggestion' mechanism.” [BlogBridge]

Follow the link to see the list. There are a bajillion and one other library blogs I would recommend, but they wanted a dozenish list of starter feeds for those librarians new to RSS, so I didn’t want to get too specialized. It’s a little heavy on library technology, but I think that’s one thing the biblioblogosphere excels at and I did try not to get all tech-geeky.

I think it’s awesome that an aggregator company wants to include an easy way for folks to find library-related feeds within their product, so big thumbs up to BlogBridge. I’ll be talking about them more in the future, so if you’re looking for a new aggregator, give theirs a whirl!
