Thing #5

I've never heard anything about the RSS before and I think it's great. Think of the time it will save you because you don't have to go to each site. I can't wait to share this with my friends. You can control what news you want to be sent to you reader. It really it is like Netflix. I love it! I have to say it is very overwhelming, but interesting. I read many specifics about the cap and trade from the Obama administration and the economic impact of the changing climate. I would have never heard from the evening news. It was an eye opening article from the New York Times that makes me very concerned about the future.

    One of the best features of the RSS feed is the ability to skip over items that don't apply/interest you. I sometimes go through a whole list of titles without reading one. Then I can spend time on the few that really catch my eye. Spend a little time each day checking your feed, or you'll end up with a long list! :)

    I am with you on these RSS feeds! I can't believe I didn't know about it sooner! I spend so much time "surfing" the web and never realized that I can make it all come to me! I liked the analogy the video gave of Netflix vs. the video store- it really does come to you! I plan on using the feeds to find ideas for my classroom as well as my personal life. I think i have shared it with everyone! Why didn't someone tell us about this sooner!?!?
