RSS feeds are valuable if you want/need to keep up to date with the latest developments in your field e.g the shelved librarian if you are interested in what other libraries/librarians are trying; or outside of work just to the latest gossip, trends etc. It can make you feel connected to a wider environment than the one you exist in. It may also lead to information overload - where you are looking at feeds for no reason other that they are there and they become a distraction and hinderance rather than a help- who has that much spare time? One's I've added include salon and arts and daily letters.

Well done setting up a bloglines account, I find it hard to keep my RSS feeds down to just the essentials. You're right, there is just too much out there :)
