Blog lines, RSS

This week we learned how to use RSS feeds (Real simple syndication). After logging on bloglines, I set up an account and thought the site I am able to subscribe to people blogs. Which enables news and me to keep up to date which they new posts.

RSS feeds are good for students, teachers and businesss, webblogs generate a behind the scenes code in a language similar to HTLM called XML. This code usually referred to as a feed. As is true with traditional syndication, the content comes to you instead of you going to get it.

We also watched and learnt about web 2.0, leaning the changes to the net which gave the user more control and saw the internets open source being used in new and ground breaking ways. Web 2.0 has seen a rise in an online community where people from all over can get together and connect.
