I think that I could literally get lost forever in the world of blogs! There is definately one out there for everyone. The trick is finding the one that really "fits". I've perused through several. I've been following the ALSC blog at alsc.ala.org/blog/. It's been great for general info about what's going on in the world of information science and libraries. I've found that it really gives you a broad sense of what currently happening. Obviously, if you want more in depth info, you can click on the links provided or do your own research. The other blog I've been following is at booklistonline.com/
It's been a great source for keeping me up to date on young adult books, authors, etc. Since it's impossible to read every new book that comes out, this is a way to make informed decisions when purchasing for my library collection, or for making a recommendation. It's been really interesting, and it's also provided some insight into books that I've already read. I can directly see how blogs could be used to stay on the edge of what's happening in library science and also a way to "reach out" to others with the same interests. I'm amazed at the level of knowledge that many of the bloggers display and it encourages me to keep learning and growing professionally.
