Exploring RSS

I've heard of this RSS thing for awhile, but didn't really know any information about it at all. I'm really glad I got to explore this and I'm certain it will be useful in the future. It's so convenient to have all these sites in one place and not have to browse the internet for hours or rack your brain trying to remember a web site. I think all my feeds and websites have really valuable and useful information. Once you watch the tutorial on RSS, it was pretty easy to set up and add feeds via Google Reader. I attempted to do it through Blogger at first, but couldn't get it to work. If anyone knows how to put your reader page on your blog please let me know!

My Delicious

I've posted my delicious account link right above my favorite sites. I found this tool very easy to use and think it will be very useful in the future. I never knew this site existed and I'm very happy to have explored it. It's so convenient to go directly to your page and have all your favorite sites right there. Every little tool that helps you get through college is one I'm tryin to have!

Emerging Technology #2 Twitter

              The second emerging technology I chose to explore is Twitter. This communication tool has stormed on to the scene in really just the last year or so.  Created in 2006, Twitter enables you to post short messages (tweets), limited to 140 characters or less. These messages can be about anything you want. Unlike Facebook, you “follow” people on Twitter. Many celebrities in entertainment, sports, politics, and just about anything else you can think of have Twitter accounts. Start by logging on at www.twitter.com (included in my favorite sites ) and create an account. Then simply choose who you would like to follow and those individuals or groups will show on your feed. You can add a photo of yourself, personal information, ect. It’s very easy to set up and fun to see what your favorite celebrities or friends are up to. I just recently made my account and now I’m addicted. So join this new communication revolution that is Twitter and see what all the fuss is about!
