RSS-Really Simple Syndication!
Google Reader!

RSS! How wonderfully simple! It is so true! What a wonderful way to get information and updates of websites all in one place! Sound to good to be true but this time it is true. In floating around in Google Reader, I chose a subject that is fun for me...GARDENING! I subscribed to feeds based on how many subscribers were already there thinking that the more the subscribers the better value of knowledge coming from that site would be. May not be true as in "The Farmers Almanac" page. It's something that has been around for over 100 years..mostly credible....but not many subscribers. Once there, boy what great information...people don't know what they are missing if they think like I did in my reason for subscribing to a site....the more the better...not necessarily true in this case anyways. That might be a kink that needs to be worked out in the great technology world of Google Reader.

Anyway, I liked the convenience of really selecting sites, pointing and clicking to subscribe and wow...informative, great, and current information pops right up! I liked that there was the option to share with others. Imagine the great article and video about how to make paper cups for seed plantlings being shared with my fellow gardeners!

The recommended items feed was neat in that it showed current different items like the photographer that shot photos of people then and now! How different and interesting. People might enjoy something like that after a long day...needing a little distraction.

I can definitely see me using this RSS technology! I loved it...it is convenient. No more going up to my favorites and scrolling down to each site to find information and updates! Saves a lot of time to get current news...something we all like...saving time!
