This week's RSS assignment is pretty cool. It's basically an email account of current newsfeeds. It works like this. After registering for an account at www.bloglines.com, you subscribe to several feeds from different websites and each time they have a new post, it will appear in your blog lines account. I learned from MTV news that Chris Brown and Rhianna are back together, even after a supposed physical altercation. At iTunes Top 25 songs found out the song Alone- by Heart is on their top 25 list although it's been around for 25 years. Could that be because a contestant sang it on Idol last week? Teens have no idea these days where the good music comes from.
I think Bloglines could be useful if I can figure out how to get the feeds that I want- I tried to subscribe to the Salt Lake Tribune (which is the one I most wanted to have a feed to) but couldn't figure out how. Also, I thought it would be interesting to subscribe to George Norry- Coast to coast (which is a radio cast about paranormal things) but couldn't figure that out either. I haven't subscribed to a library feed because then it would feel more like a chore and responsibility to check it than fun. I really don't need any more whispering responsibilities in my head. Having to check my email is enough. But I'm sure that as soon as it pertains to my job, it will be very useful. I wish we could have bloglines at my work now, just to peruse through when we are not on a call. I could be up on all the important news that way.
