Description:
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication." Like Global News Syndication is a system for sending the latest news stories to newspapers, RSS is a way of sending the latest news (whether it be a blog, newsline, preset search or whatnot) to you.
Your task is to use RSS so you can get the latest Learning 2.0 news right to your chosen news site. Some good examples of these include Google Reader, iGoogle, MyYahoo.com, Bloglines, NetVibes and Pageflakes.
Hints:
- UPDATE: An anonymous commenter (thank you anonymous commenter!) reminded me to tell you that you do need an account (eg. A Google or Yahoo account) with your reader in order to add the feed -- that is, if you do not already have one.
- I did a screencast earlier in October to demonstrate step-by-step how to add an RSS feed to Google Reader. UPDATE: Anonymous commenter also advises that the screen cast does not work for all machines. Sorry about that!
- Look for the
icon next to the address bar (where you enter your web addresses to find Google or whatnot), or you can scroll down and find " Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom) "(oops! I made your job even easier -- we'll see if you are paying attention)". - Click on the icon or link and "copy" the URL (web address) of that link into your RSS Reader (Google Reader, Bloglines, or whatever). If you have an updated version of Firefox, your task may be even easier than that.
- You can also search for this blog's RSS feed from your Reader, if you want.
