Really Simple Syndication B
Are you ready to get nerdy? Yes? Good. There's an important technology that is part of the fabric of new media and social technologies and it's called RSS. It's a standard way of sharing content (e.g., a blog post or posts; a stream of photos posted from a cell phone, a series of podcasts, etc.) from a single source out to any number of recipients (e.g., your computer, an iPod, a smart phone, another website, etc.). Understanding even a little bit about RSS can be a dangerous thing, so let's break out the safety scissors.
This module reviews the many tools for aggregating RSS feeds and the world of online monitoring services.
