Meeting RSS: just in time, because reading the last chapter certainly had me overwhelmed! Really Simple Really? The author states (pg. 72) "I've been able to track about 80 feeds of information daily from bloggers, newspaper, search engines, and more. Over that time, I've read or skimmed literally tens of thousands of posts" really simple, really?
I know this chapter was specifically written to expose us to the time saving app RSS to help web users collect and store thousands all the information shot our way, but how long did it take the author to "skim" that information even while using this app? Really, simple, really? Okay, so it is a good idea to have a "personal information filter or guide" to help us sort all of the information and keep only the useful and I am sure once I get the hang of it I will indeed appreciate all the this app can do for us but right now I am just learning to navigate into the tools and need time to venture on to the RSS for help...but I'll get there some day...gosh, being patient learning all this is really hard for me...I just keep reminding myself to go slow and easy and have fun with all of this and hopefully someday I'll know how to use it appropriately....I just remembered advice I tell my students all the time..."you have to learn something before you know it and I have to be willing to take the time to learn this new "language" before I can know how.....good advice right?
