Thing 5: RSS

Feeds added to my Readers are:
1. Public Events at the Library of Congress
2. HIV/AIDS Prevention
3. Washington Post Africa
4. America.gov-Africa
5. Google News Nigeria


What i think about RSS feed as an Advantages are as follows

It delivers new contents on the web in an innovative ways
It also contain news headlines and content summaries
While the content summaries contain just enough information the reader may need and a click on the feed, a reader can get additional information and Information inflow is easily control.


One can take advantage of this technology by having updated information straight to your desktop. You can monitor news, blogs, job listings, personals, and classifieds.
