Overall I think the RSS and newsreader can be a help when reading updated blogs, but only to a certain extent. Although these readers do help us organize the blogs we wish to read more often and keep up with, I think that once you hit a certain amount of subscriptions it will become overwhelming. Just after subscribing to five blogs the list of unread blogs from these five blogs was extremely overwhelming. Each blog I subscribed to seem to be very interested into blogging frequently, which is not a bad thing unless you are trying to keep up with what they write. Reading one blog a day is understandable, but if each different blog posts multiple things in a certain time period or you do not check it very often it because more of a hassle and you just won't feel like keeping up with it.
This technology can be used in your school to keep up with other teachers or even students' blogs, which is one way teachers can take advantage of this new technology. You can easily see when they have posted new material and read what is written. In my personal life it can be used to keep up with your favorite blogs without having to go to multiple places to see if they had posted anything new yet.
