My Experience with RSS Feeds

Week 3’s session included the task of creating and analyzing concepts related to RSS’s and Feedly. The exercise and website proved to be useful as it does not require one to search for specific information; instead the website sends the receiver information based on their interests and what they need information for. The website also provides a person with the capability of subscribing to a variety of websites which are later grouped together and contain new information so that a person is able to discover it at a faster pace.

A post that I found to be intriguing and advantageous was “20 Memorization Techniques for College Students” which written by Jonathan Fritiz.  Being a university, I found this post to be relevant as it gave me advice and tips with regards to techniques I can use when studying and how I can be prepared and successful when writing exams. The post provides specific advice on how to memorize course related information so that one can achieve the marks they are hoping for. In addition, this basic idea can be further analyzed as the blog advises one to create acronyms from the first letter of the information a person is trying to memorize.

I found Feedly to be a great tool that can be explored in order to retain new information and news. Considering my initial experience with the Feedly tool, I believe it will help me find and collect information in the future.
