Thing 6: RSS and Newsreaders

A Rich Site Summary, or RSS feed, is an internet format designed to deliver regularly changing internet content.  Watching the online tutorial and YouTube video prepared me to know how to begin adding news feeds.  Per Dr. Wilson's post, I accepted her challenge and created a Bloglines account.  Customizing my dashboard and tracking my favorite websites was time consuming.  Nevertheless, once personalized, the most recent information is readily available for news, local blogs, and events.  I believe that anyone can benefit from using RSS and newsreaders so as to have a quick go-to place for special interests and current news.  However, I still occasionally forget about the Bloglines account and use Google to research a variety of topics.

Check out my personalized Bloglines account.

  1. Sjerrie,
    If Bloglines is just one more thing to keep up with, I wanted to let you know that there is a Reader connected to Google accounts. Just like Blogger is offered through google, so is Google Reader. I'm pretty sure it does the same thing as Bloglines. Just FYI.
