For this post, I'll like to start with some definitions because I like definitions. And because, I'm thinking about those who might just read my blog and have never heard of the term.
From our readings for this "thing", it's stated that "RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is a file format for delivering regularly updated information over the web."
Also, "in the information world RSS has changed the way news, media, and content creators share information, and it is changing the way everyday users are consuming information".
In addition, RSS's "allows you to subscribe to online news and updates that are important to you, and once you subscribe to a source, you no longer need to visit that individual website to check the website for updates/ if they offer an RSS feed, all you need to do is subscribe."
The blog: open 24 hours, Wagner, Mark.
So, the next question would be what can users subscribe to?
Answer: News sources, blogs, social bookmarking, podcasts, wiki's, photo sharing(flickr), websearchers (such as Google News, MSN search, or Technorati).
Then we were asked to set up an account.
I chose Google reader and set up an account. This was not very diffucult. Believe me when I say that if I can do this anyone can.
I've already added some of my favorite sites. Like CNN and Google News, and the blogs of some of my co-workers.
