What about RSS?

Hi, is this really cool, or not? I think it is cool. You select what you like to read in the future and you read what you have selected before. Sounds really fine to me. How about you? If you are still think it is just another fancy tech word, please let me share with you about how I use RSS in a "real world"?

I am a yahoo.com user and set up my.yahoo.com years ago. Since RSS started to make buzz on the Internet, I checked it out. Then I designed my yahoo home page with a lot of RSS feeds from several major newspaper. So everyday I opened my yahoo home page, I will find preselected news on my yahoo home page. Of course, I put my email preview on the home page too, so I can check it the first thing in the morning.

When I find somethings interesting, I will add them to my yahoo news feeder if they are RSS ready. Therefore, next time I will get all the updates for that new added item and don't have to do my search again.

In one really simply sentence, RSS provides a way for me to manage my online information resources. I like it.

For the purpose to accomplish our Learning 2.0 exercise, I set up a bloglines account and published my bloglines account. Here is the link to my bloglines page: http://www.bloglines.com/public/masonyang.

Enjoy it, I hope!!!
