I have seen that little orange triangle-like object several times without knowing the significance until last semester when I read about it in one of the courses I offered. Even then, I could not fully comprehend its message. I am beginning to know the usefulness now. RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication," Wonderful!
Moreover, our class session for this week is an eye-opener to better understand what RSS indicates. I created an account with Google Reader and subscribed to a few of my colleagues' blogs. The Wiki Orientation, RSS in Plain English was simple and explanatory enough to make people like me add more understanding to my knowledge of RSS.
Concerning the sources we are suppose to monitor, it has become necessary for me to follow my instructor's advice and guide. For this reason, I have changed the sources to the following:
http://lisnews.com
http://web.resourceshelf.com/go/resourceblog/
Back to RSS, I chose Google Reader for its benefits: It works in modern browsers without any software to install, it has built-in public page which connects folks and helps them share interesting items with friends and families, it constantly checks favorite news sites and blogs for new contents, and guess what? it's all free!
