Week 4: Thing 8: RSS & Newsreaders

I, successfully, created my Bloglines newsreader account and subscribed to 10 newsfeeds. This was all new to me. I had seen the RSS icon on my computer but never knew its functionality so this was a beneficial "thing" for me to learn. Most of what I subscribed to were "news" sites. Although, it is definitely a time saver to have all of my favorite sites in one place for a quick update, I also enjoy a leisurely browse through web sites. I don't always need the "quickest" link to things. This, of course, is advantageous in a work setting but I tend to think that, at home, I'll continue to link from site to site as I always have.
