Loved the introductory video...clever and funny way to learn about RSS.
I created an igoogle home page and, for a start, successfully subscribed to CNN, Learn with CDLC, and YouTube. I put Snopes on it too. I seem to get so many of those inflamatory e-mails (ie Cell phone numbers going public) and wind up checking Snopes frequently. What a great way to keep abreast of the newest urban legends.
I tried to subscribe to the Learn with CDLC blogs page. I got the gadget to appear, but no information. I guess I'll bookmark that page. It's much easier to keep up with everyone in the class through the NetVibes page. Thanks for that.
I'll spend the rest of the week looking for other RSS feeds that will be useful to me.
Our automated library catalog, OPALS, has recently included a feature allowing us to add RSS feeds to the home page. Animal of the day was their sample feed. I tried adding another one but couldn't get it to work before I ran out of "play" time.
