My Experience with RSS (Internet Activity #2)

From this activity, I have learned how to use the google reader with RSS.Google reader is an amazing tool for sharing readings. Although this is my first time to try it, it really makes me impressive. Google has a detailed introduction and online helper explains how to use this reader.

RSS, which I have seen really often in many websites, but never known how to use it. The web feed is so useful and fun. It makes our lives much more easier. I feel very comfortable of reading all these news and websites through the google reader instead of opening several small web windows. There are so many advantages for you when you use this reader. Firstly, you can subscribe those news, blogs and other websites you are interested in. The reader tells the average posts per week so that you would know how often they post new items; it also counts that how many items that you have not read from the subscriptions list on the left-side of your web browser. Moreover, you can share those websites by simply click on "Share", "Share with note" or "Email"on the bottom line of each item. In addition, you even can add these shared items into your personal blog, and they can be all incorporated into one page in a new window. You can just send that web address to your friends, and they will see all the items you shared.

There are many ways to add a site in the google reader. I just list three easist ways by following:

1. Log into your Google reader, click on "Add a subscription",and then enter the site address you want to add, click "Add" when you finished.
2. If you do not know the exact address of the site you want to add, then go to Google reader and click on "Add a subscription". Type in keywords to search for feeds. Or you can also go "Browse for stuff" and click "Browse", there are 3 choics for you adding sites.
3. Many websites display an icon
"rss" or "site feed" in the address bar, if the site has a feed, just click that icon and choose your reader.
Google reader, RSS, web feeds, those are alll very useful and helpful to us. Our lives with them have become much simpler and easier, and they save our time. It is really smart of using them. Google reader have done searching and arranging those personal intersting infronmation for us. Why don't we use it and relieve our works?
