Really simple syndication: the new black!





I must admit that before starting this module I was completely oblivious to the wonders of the internet, well I still am ,but at least now I am aware. To me using the internet was going on google typing in random words crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. Now a shiny new world has presented itself to me made of links, operators, personalized news and mostof all RSS, really simple syndication.

How could I have never used it before? It's seriously user friendly, even for wetiots, web-idiots, such as myself and saves you infinite amounts of time. It is mainly used to publish frequently updated works such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, video and is a useful tool for keeping updated on your favorite websites. In order to receive RSS feeds, you must have an aggregator or a feed reader.

I have used google reader for a week now and have decided that is one of the web's must-haves! It's the new black for bloggers. That little thing that never goes out of style and saves your day when you are out of ideas. Exactly like black, if it's your only resource, you will appear quite sad and narrow minded.
