week 4. RSS Feeds


To be honest I had always wondered what that little orange icon was at the top of nearly every webpage! And now I know! I have learned something new.
I am a bit of a weird one when it comes to the net. All my friends can find hours of entertainment on the net and look up their favourite websites everyday. I, on the other hand, seem to be one of the few in my age bracket that actually find the internet (dare I admit it) boring! The only thing I use it for is internet banking, emails and occasionally facebook. I also use it to research products if I need to buy something and sometimes browse recipes. I don’t listen to music, download movies, read comics, read blogs or ‘surf’ the internet.  In saying this RSS feeds aren’t really useful for me but I can definitely see how they would be useful to people who visit the same 20 webpages everyday. It is a good idea. Just for the sake of this weeks exercise I subscribed to a few RSS feeds:
Avacodo.org.au
Powerhouse museum
White Ninja comics
SXF WOD
Unshelved
Learning 2.0 basics.

  1. I think most people wondered what that little orange thing was, I did. For most people it can be quite handy, I don't think it's something I would use again.
