Using RSS in MIM @ RMIT

Well, I've just worked out how to use RSS feeds! Phew! I actually think they're a brilliant idea, having all your favourite websites in one place and being able to see if any new stories/ articles/ blogs have been added. It certainly saves a lot of time rather than checking every individual website.

I used Feedly to learn about RSS and although I had a some difficulty to begin with, I was eventually able to have quite a bit of fun. I have subscribed to other blogs from my group and am looking forward to receiving updates from them. I was really overjoyed to see that I could also use Feedly to check for updates from my favourite magazine The Fortean Times, which can sometimes be really difficult, if not impossible to find in the newsagents! Now I can be updated on weird and wonderful news whenever I want!

  2. I particularly like the recommendations part of Feedly. I think this aspect alone puts it above all the other RSS Feeds I have testing in this course.

  4. Hi Christina, The Fortean? That sound so familiar? What's it all about? Is it like news about a certain subject in particular or a media interaction which can be followed using hard copy mediums such as magazines or newspapers, or audio, like radio, or social media, because I think it's amazing too that Feedly just pulls it all straight in for you, and then also suggests similar texts or sites, but then, that concerns me a bit because there have to be some sort of privacy issues with robots and stuff knowing what we like or prefer, just like on facebook and all? See you soon, Susanne
