Blog Topic #3: What is RSS?
What is RSS?
RSS or Really Simple Syndication is a technology whose general idea is instead of going to same websites to see if they have been updated, bring the update to you.
How is it useful and/or being used? Saves time, bandwidth and disaapointment of a site not being updated, hehe.
How can you use the RSS feed to track updates to your fellow student's blogs?
Although you could use Googles Follow or Freinf Connect button, you could also copy the url and add it to your subscriptions.
What's an aggregator?
An RSS aggregator (aka RSS Feed, RSS Channel, RSS Reader) is a program that checks all of your websites and organizes the new reults for you. Saving you the time and bandwidth of checking and visiting these sites.
Youtube - Lee Lefever - He explains it very well, even my parents can understand him.
Software Garden - Straight forward answers
I personally use Google Reader, but there are many choices out there.

Blog Topic #2: Can I get a resource?
Since many of us are students and since the economy is decresing the number of new jobs, many people are turning to contract work.
Freelance Folder is a pretty cool site. Yes a lot of the articles are very obvious but, then I just ask myself if they are so obvious how come I do not implement those ideas.
Freelance Folder has different types of articles that apply to different aspects of being a freelancer, incluging; Marketing, Productivity, How to and Lifestyle.
