Things #8 RSS feeds and set up your own Bloglines newsreader account (Week #4 RSS & Newsreaders)

Watched 2 videos from http://blip.tv/file/205570 "RSS in Plain English" and "Wikis in Plain English". I like how simple it was done. The videos give great understanding in short and simple ways.

Listened to the podcast last night. "Listen to this podcast" at: http://plcmclearning.blogspot.com/2006/08/8-make-life-really-simple-with-rss.html

Signed up for Bloglines last night and visited Google Reader and signed up for RSS newsfeeds and read about 10 to 15 articles. Just wondering how different these are to newsletters. Can they be the same sometimes. Is there a way to combine them through RSS?
Some of the articles were really interesting and some were above me. I was not ready for them because they spoke of areas I have little knowledge.

I need to go back to NetTrekker and EBSCO to add some RRSs. I have tried before this class but couldn't get them coming. Now I should be able to bring them in.
