RSS Feeds

This is actually something that I'm already using, I subscribed to FESA alerts through Outlook so I can get up-to-date info about bushfires.
The five sites that I think are useful are:
FESA fire alerts - this is the first RSS I set up because there are always fires in the hills and if you live up there it's good to know whether you are going to be able to get home!
Perthnow - traffic jams and peak hours traffic updates - also useful for driving home
Art Gallery of WA- to keep up with the latest exhibitions
Unshelved - for fun
Guggenheim - it's interesting to see what's going on elsewhere in the world and how awesomely creative people can be - check out "A Biennial of creative video".

I'm probably more likely to use RSS through Outlook than through Google Reader because, obviously, I look at that every day.   I could see that the libraries could offer a subscription to patrons to keep them up-to-date with events, maybe new books etc.  Could be useful.
