I wouldn't say Really Simple Syndication. How about, MSS (Mildly Simple), or FSS (Fairly Simple)? Honestly, reading about RSS and then adding feeds to the Bloglines site was pretty straightforward, or PSS. I seem to keep racking up the number of my personal feeds through this method. I also installed RSS software on both home and work computers and immediately connected to the CBC TV news feed. Oh, and the sports feed as well. Interestingly, a "doorbell" sound occurs when the CBC has fresh news on the wire. Very neat.
I like RSS and newsreaders because they are constantly being updated and refreshed for subscribers. Why go to numerous web sites when there's nothing new on any of them? Why go to someone's blog if he, or she, hasn't added a new post for a while?
For both our work and personal lives, RSS is a time-saver. We are able to instantly access pertinent sites related to the field of adult literacy without flipping through pages and pages of outdated materials. For hobbyists, RSS allows a direct connection to items of specific interest from many sources at the same time.
I fully intend on exploring the feeding frenzy available on the world wide web.
