If this is the most difficult thing to do in 23 things then I'm Scott free!. I like the Google reader and search functions, Very quickly I found a number of great Zappa feeds, and musicology feeds. The Alex Ross feed will probably be the most used in the bunch.
Uses for libraries are great. Public libraries can keep their constituents informed of goings on and new acquisitions. One great application for scholars would be to notify when "moving walls" move, or updating users of released electronic journals. This could be even more useful if you could sort Journal entry feeds by LCSH.
Problems exist though, how many feeds can one sift through? Again I confronted with the notion that while we can have more information sent to use quicker than ever before, how much of any of this can one human mind process? This is the persistent question in the technological age.
