Yeah.
Not Really Simple Syndication.
I had problems this week. I REALLY wanted to get it. I REALLY did. I thought RSS was going to be the best thing I learned through all of this. But all I REALLY wanted to do was pull my hair out.
However, I did learn a few things. Such as:
1) You have to sign out when you are using a public computer, otherwise everyone else will get confused when they try to log in and just keep getting you. Oops!
2) Not every website has RSS. And even if they do, its not always easy to find their little &$% link. (sorry)
3) Linda is the queen of RSS on the 2nd floor, and we all have her to thank for helping us finish our assignments this week. Thanks Linda!!
4) That it's basically like my "favourites" list on my internet explorer window. And yeah, I get that I can get to my favourite websites from any computer if I use bloglines, but still... I don't know.
5) The one real advantage that I see is that I can save "clips". This might be useful for when I write my Youth Trends report for the InService packages. That is, if I can remember to login and check my bloglines account on a regular basis enough that it actually becomes useful. Time shall tell!
So yay or nay for RSS?
Nay for now.
Yay maybe later??
