“RSS Feeds – Resistance is futile”
Posted by: sherylgray on: June 27, 2009
OK … the quote above (Borg lore that I love) is from Will Richardson’s book Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts. (83) Richardson speaks in such easy language about the urgency of trying RSS (Real Simple Syndication) that I signed myself up on the spot. I now have a new Google Reader account and have subscribed to about 10 feeds. I’d love to use this technology in the classroom, but will first need to become used to synthesizing and using this type of information feed. Richardson walks you through the process from basic start up to advanced use (in only 12 pages, I might add) so I will definitely come back to this resource as I become more familiar with the process. Amazing application potential – beyond what I can even consider at the moment.

I liked the RSS reading too, Sheryl! I also started a google reader account. I tried to get a bloglines account like Dr. C has, but for reasons I can’t fathom, my confirmation emails wouldn’t come through, so I just went with google reader. I’m still fumbling my way through it, but I’m excited about the potential and feel ready to explore it!

So glad to hear someone else is on the same page with me. I’m trying to start slow with Google Reader because I’m afraid I’ll be overloaded with information. The only subscription I haven’t had luck yet is with a comic strip. I tried to subscribe to the strip Baby Blues but it gave me newspapers without the comic (so far that I can find). I haven’t tried any blogs (maybe other than Andrew Sullivan – Atlantic – is this a blog??).
