Tech Reflect (Wednesday, October 7th)

TechReflect: How easy/difficult is it to use RSS? Find 2 online applications that display feeds. How difficult is it to use RSS (can a clue-less web browser figure out how to use it)? Post a picture of the icon used for RSS.

--RSS is something that constantly alerts subscribers (to a certain website) about changes made on their page or favorite websites and so forth.
--That way, it's much easier for subscribers to see what's new and what's updated on their blogs and such.
--It's actually quite easy to read an RSS. You need the RSS Feed Reader to make it work, though. An RSS feed reader will take you directly to an article, if that's what you're looking for, while others will just show you the actual RSS which is written in XML (Extensible Markup Language).
--If a totally clueless person wants to figure out how to use an RSS, they can get an RSS feed reader. But in a way, everyone who has already subscribed to a social network, RSS is already being used when their "friends" or "followers" have updates on their blogs/profiles.
