This activity wasn't quite as useful as some of the others. RSS in itself is a filtering tool, and to have to filter further would only be useful to someone who had a specific need. So I can see the benefits of its use for serious researchers who might want to further filter sites they are already subscribing to via RSS. Hence, RSS filtering (eg. by FeedRinse, FilterMyRss or FeedSifter) would be be applicable in a tertiary library, government department library or medical library for example, but not so much in a public library setting. Perhaps librarians researching a specific topic relevant to their work might also use an RSS filter.
I did set up an alert for my Regional Council website 'vacancies' page, as I am constantly monitoring it incase there is a library job advertised I can apply for! Hopefully I will now receive an alert via email.
I haven't organised my feeds in any way. I simply scroll through them and scan to see what I might like to delve further into. I quite like doing this.
