Module 8


An RSS feed is again another term that I have heard of but never known what it meant. I learnt that it is a big time saver for people who regularly use the web. Instead of having to visit each website yourself to find updates, through an RSS (Rich Summary Site) this information is fed to you. An RSS provides the delivery of constantly changing web content. I guess it makes keeping up with the World Wide Web easier.
Already having set up a google account, I found getting a “home” or a “reader” for these feeds easy through Google Reader. Subscribing to various websites so that these feeds or updates show up in my Google Reader was also easy. There are however SO many websites out there, you could get carried away with subscriptions and find yourself constantly trying to keep up with your feeds. It is great how it automatically marks updates as “read” once you scroll over them.
