Beth Evans: Your Space or MySpace?
“About a year ago, my 15-year-old daughter Nell
confessed that she never answered my email because
she never saw it. Strange, I thought, because I saw Nell
online all the time. Why was opening Hotmail such a
chore? Nell explained that if her friends wanted to reach
her, they just left her mail in her MySpace inbox.”

<title>Library of Congress Launches RSS Feeds</title>
<link>http://www.loc.gov/today/pr/2006/06-223.html</link>
<description>The Library of Congress has launched a series of news feeds using the RSS (Really
Simple Syndication) technology. Since its launch in 1994, the Library's award-winning Web site has
been the destination of Web users seeking authoritative information and unparalleled collections, with
more than 22 million digital objects available in 186 terabytes of content, including photographs, maps,
music, film, books and reference information on topics ranging from American history to science and
technology to popular culture. The RSS service was launched in response to public requests for alerts
on additions to the Library's digital collections, updates of events at the Library's public venues in
Washington and news of the institution.</description>
