RSS feeds

I really enjoyed this exercise especially the searching in the database. I made sure the article is full text before I added it to my RSS collections.



How useful would this be?

To be able to incorporate interesting articles in my blog which could be shared by my fellow bloggers with the same interest as mine is so exciting. I could add any latest news or findings in my blog and a friend from any part of the world could go in access my blog and download whatever articles that is of interest to them.



Where can you see this being used?

Students could do the same they could enhance their research thru blog networking especially if articles they need can be only found in databases we don't subscribe. Make sure that the article is full text.RSS feeds has great potential. After all RSS feeds are electronic alerts so any updates which are not relevant can be quickly isolated and ignored.



Do you think this technology would engage students?

yes. Introduce blogging in user ed then stand back and watch. It will be exciting to watch as it spreads like wildfire.
