Week4 Thing 8

I have spent a lot of time this week learning about RSS feeds and news readers. Read the discovery resources and now understand exactly what RSS feeds and newsreaders are all about. After reading Bloglines extensive tutorial, I signed up for an account. It was easy to get started with some RSS feeds by subscribing to some of Bloglines Top Picks. I have started noticing the RSS icon on many sites. It is so easy to subscribe to feeds by copying and pasting the URL/link into the subscribe field in Blogline's reader. I have subscribed to 10 or 12 news feeds. This is a real timesaver instead of going to each website. But I find that all of this Web 2.0 technology can be addictive and soon you find that time has gotten away from you.
