Week 4 - RSS Feeds

RSS feeds would be very useful for those people who love to read a lot of blogs from various sites. Instead of having to manually go to the page to see if there is a new post, you can easily save it to your Google Reader.


As I don’t read blogs, this tool wouldn’t be very useful for me. However, a RSS feed such as The West Australian would be of interest, as it is a way to keep track of up-to-date information of what’s happening around the world instead of having to relying on the newspaper which is only updated daily.


The five sites I choose for my RSS reader were:

  1. Western Australia Public Libraries - Learning 2.0 Basic
  2. Frankie Magazine
  3. Web 2.0 Training
  4. Dictionary.com Word of the Day
  5. ABC News
