23 Things Assignment #3 - RSS Feeds

Well, just finished the Assignment #3 by creating a bloglines account and subscribed to the following RSS Feeds:

http://feeds.rd.com/ReadersDigestJokes
www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/RecipeOfTheDayRSS.aspx
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/index.rss
http://feeds.feedburner.com/walks-of-a-lifetime

I found this very interesting, being able to get feeds through bloglines and not have to go to the website at all for areas of interest. I find this particularly useful for leisure at the moment, since there are areas of interest on a personal level, but I can see how this would be useful for doing research for work and/or school......takes away the hours of trying to get to every website which is time consuming. Also, I see a drawback to this, that it can get out of hand and subscribing to all sorts of RSS feeds and then not having the time to get through it on a daily basis if this is your good intentions......to much information all at once. Depends how you look at it.

I'm glad you knew what you were doing, I kind of got lost.
