RSS

1. How would you explain RSS to a friend?
An RSS feed is like a subscription to a magazine. You place your order and instead of traveling to store to get the latest issue, it will be mailed to you. With an RSS feed you subscribe to a websites feed and the updates will be sent to your Reader.

2. What feeds did you subscribe to?
I subscribed to CADIE's personal world wide website, Marks Daily Apple, The Crossfit Journal

3. What might you use RSS feeds for in your school/personal life?
For school RSS feeds could be used to stay up to date with related academic topics and the schools News feed. The same can be said for one's personal life. An RSS feed eliminates the need for having to visit several websites, and instead updates can be checked all on one page. It saves time and also keeps you from visiting sites that have not yet been updated.
