RSS feeds is not something I've really gotten into before. I'm not sure why but they never really caught my attention in the past. I had a stab at them during the Olympics, trying to keep up to date with some of the events without having to watch them. For reasons I don't remember I never really got on with it.
Thanks to 12 things I'm having another go and I've been introduced to google reader. Its very easy to use. I've already signed up to some of the feeds from New Scientist's website as well as BBC news.
I can see some uses in a work environment. Following health related feeds would be useful so we know what is going on in the industry and possibly spot changes as they happen so we can stay ahead of the curve. Having an RSS feed for the library on the other hand would be a useful alerting or advertising system for our users.
So to sum up: RSS is easy to use and potentially useful.
