What? What? What the heck are you yaking about now? Well you have been following my new trip to the computer to read the newspaper... Well, hardly any time at all goes by before you start hearing the initials RSS... That's computer geek speak for "REALLY SIMPLE SYNDICATION".
So we signed up for a free RSS FEED to see what all the hullabaloo was about. Well now, turns out this is a dandy for news readers. You select from the huge offer list of things that interest you and then they give you your own personal web page with gobs of stories from different sources. There is a discrptive sentence with each headline so that you can decide if you are interested. If you are just click and read. Your RSS FEED page is updated continuously throughout every day which means the news is current and upto date as it happens and is reported.
Sources that are offered are national such as the New York Times, wire services and a host of others. There is even a part with some of them that put your favorite blogs such as this website on the feed and everytime there is a new post it shows up on the RSS.
I am a neophyte here and like Alice in Wonderland have fallen down a fascinating rabbit hole.
