RSS Assignment Questions




  • Why did you select the sites you subscribed to?
  • Was it easy to find feeds and to subscribe to them?
  • Which sites were your favorites?
  • What else can you use RSS feeds for?
  • How likely are you to continue to use RSS feeds in the future?

  • I have a deep interest in technology, which is why I chose the NYT as one of my websites.  I also have a large interest in video games, which is the reason why I subscribed to the Game Informer RSS feed.  Lastly, I have an interest in U.S. breaking news so subscribing to the CIA website can give me important news fast.  The rest have similar reasons.
  • It wasn't a one step process.  The RSS links are usually hidden in the website, and it can be difficult to find.  Once found, however, you place the RSS link onto your RSS reader and all your news is instantly fed to you.
  • My favorite site is the Game Informer site.  I love games, and any gaming news is an excite to me.
  • You can use RSS feeds for an array of things, mostly pertaining to world or local news.
  • I may continue to use RSS feeds if I can't find anything good on the internet.  I could go to my reader and probably find something I couldn't find on my own.
