Week 4 Exercise 9

More search tools to find feeds to add to my bloglines to be viewed on my blog along with photos from flickr... these exercises keep building on one another like some mad technology cumulative story.

I dutifully looked at the 4 search tools...

Feedster was not too interesting to me... the catagories were too broad and random. The feed of the day (Chirky) was fun to look at but ultimately not really useful for my work or personal life... a few minutes of my life gone forever.

I like Topix.net the best... Local news headlines caught my eye as I had earlier seen the email about SA branch closing due to the 4 alarm fire next door... and then there were three headlines about it! Also thought the recent comments section was interesting... to see how many people were talking about certain topics... but then you start looking at the comments and realize you didn't really have to read it to guess what people are saying.

Syndic8.com - too overwhelming, too much text

Technorati was kind of fun... the popular categories were a little more interesting to me and I liked having more visuals.

Overall... interesting, but don't know how much I'll really use any of it. Truthfully I'm not sure I've really grasped the "wow" of RSS, blogs and such. Maybe I'm just an old-fashioned girl.

Week 4 Exercise 8 - pt 2

So once again I had not read through the exercise instructions properly and in addition to "my thoughts" which I have not yet documented, I tried following the detailed directions to sharing - which gives me the following...

I'm not sure how different that is to doing it as done in part 1, but apparantly this is the required way.

Anyway on to "my thoughts"... I guess I can see how this would be useful to some - I have to admit I am not someone who regularly checks at least 10 websites a day for my news & entertainment... so this was mostly just an exercise for me. At least I know what RSS stands for now!

Week 4 Exercise 8 - Pt 1

RSS... Well I'm not sure if I did it right but here is the bloglines I set up...
