RSS Feeds

1. Discussion Questions

1. 1. Why did you select the sites you subscribed to? 

                To be honest, for the news and government sites, I just subscribed to them to fulfill          

                the requirements of the project. However, I subscribed to the five sites in my

                "Personal" folder because I really enjoy reading science and travel articles.

1. 2. Was it easy to find feeds and to subscribe to them? 

                Some RSS feeds were easier to find than others. Like you said, some of them don't

                just "smack you in the face." But finding them on most sites was manageable. 

1. 3. Which sites were your favorites? 

                My favorite sites were the science article sites under my "Personal" folder. Even in

                my free time at home, if I come across an interesting science article, I'll stop what

                I'm doing just to read it. I also really enjoy reading some of the articles about crimes

                and politics from news sites as well.

1. 4. What else can you use RSS feeds for?

                I can also use RSS feeds to follow people's personal blogs or other kinds of blogs

                in general. It doesn't just have to be for news and articles.

1. 5. How likely are you to continue to use RSS feeds in the future?
2.     To be honest, I don't see myself using RSS feeds in the near future. It is
3.     because I never so to any one site to search for articles. If I want to research a
4.     topic, I simply directly search the topic in Google and click on relevant links.
5.     Perhaps I will find use for RSS feeds one day after school is over when I'll have
6.     more time to read excessively for fun.
