RSS

This week I watched the RSS lecture. RSS seems like a good idea for people who keep track of multiple accounts. I talked with my husband and he uses an RSS feed to link his blog and his facebook account. Whenever he writes a new entry on his blog a notice appears on his facebook account notifying people of the new entry.

On facebook I've been able to make "friends" with my cousins who I don't see very often. (The range includes Pickering Ontario, Florida, China, B.C., and Quebec for the moment.) I'm going to try to see if I can get their new entries to appear for me.

My only concern is that this form of technology needs to be used to make life simpler and not more complicated. Ulitmately I really want to be able to log onto as few places as possible and get the maximum amount of information. In some cases it may be simpler to have people use e-mail, or that old fashioned form of communication, the telephone, or meeting in person.
