As my periodic Newzcrawler news feeds flashed
before me (every two hours), an item titled "RSS Killed
The Infoglut Star" caught my attention. So I commenced to skim
through the article, and was struck by the following commentary
from TechDirt (one of many
RSS based channels):
"Here is yet another article raving about how
RSS changes how they get information. I've heard this same story so
many times that I'm a bit confused. I keep trying the various RSS
readers, and I just haven't been hooked. I use them for a few days,
and then realize that my old method of surfing websites was much
more enjoyable and much more efficient".
I have written a
very detailed article that journalizes a set of hands-on
activities that I embarked upon after reading this article --
screen
shots and relevant Wikipedia links included. The article is
deliberately presented in a "Step By Guide" style with lot�s of
relevant links.
