About RSS



Would you rather have your news come to you, or would you rather go to it?

Would you rather have your news tailored or just get what you're given?

I'm no neophyte to the majority of the Internet's offerings. I have accounts just about anywhere; email addresses, instant messengers. I have run servers for DNS, FTP, VNC, and in-home media. Webpages? Sure.

Coincidentally, I haven't ever really picked up much on RSS. I suppose that the majority of my iGoogle pages are cleverly hidden RSS feeds, but I think I'm taking a shining to the mess of news, in one place, from the sources I selected. I like the organization of iGoogle, but I think I like the chaotic nature of the aggregate better. I can sort them, or select a single source, or just see the whole mess, which is what I gravitate toward.

It may be an assignment, but I'm digging it.

Strangely enough, I don't see as much of the instructional value as I do just bringing in news I subjectively enjoy, but I really do enjoy it.
