#8 RSS Feeds & Newsreaders


Dog at Cherry Beach
Originally uploaded by ShutterbugF

I love the expectation of the newspaper in the morning. The walk to the front gate with our labrador and jack russell dogs to pick up the paper seems far more appealing than pressing the button on the computer to get my fix of the news.
I can see the appeal for many many busy people and the amazing variety and availability of RSS and Newsreaders, so each to his own.
I now know that these services are available so I can pass on the information and generally direct people to them - but call me old-fashioned ( and I can hear it loud and clear !!) but somehow I much prefer to work my way through the "slobbered on" plastic wrap to get to the newprint.
Obviously these sites and services offer far more than the daily news so I do see the value of them but I don't know that I will be rushing to use them. I have managed to navigate my way through more user names and passwords to create my Bloglines newsreader account but am yet to delve any further.
