RSS and Merlin

The RSS feeds I am not sure I would go into on a regular basis. It is hard to find the time to do this. I can see where it could be useful, especially the verbal news announcements and updates.
My sister has been talking to me about Second Life for quite some time. I have been there and am trying to learn more. It's fun. Hard to find the time.... You can sign up for classes, job interviews are sometimes conducted there, buy and sell, and soon perhaps be taxed as the government is trying to get in on it too!
Also, some of us have played with Site Pal, Linda sent me that, too!
Apparently my learning isn't 23 things but Linda things !!! :)
