There are so many new terms being thrown around these days...RSS...Podcast...vidcast... They are everywhere. All of these are talking about ways to access text-based, audio (MP3), and video feeds. RSS is the technology that will bring these feeds to Firefox, iTunes, or your RSS aggregator of choice.
I did a workshop in the library today with an assignment guide. The guide has video links that show you how to access RSS feeds (http://library.chattanoogastate.edu/donna/rssbyte.htm).
The firefox web browser (http://www.mozilla.com/) has a built-in RSS reader where you can click on a link and paste the address into a Live Bookmark.
If you see RSS tags
on your favorite pages, right-click on the tag and "copy link location". You can paste the link into a Firefox Live bookmark.
This was a preview of my RSS presentation. Please visit my web page (http://library.chattanoogastate.edu/donna/rssbyte.htm) and watch the videos to learn more. Videos are best viewed on a broadband connection like Comcast or Bellsouth DSL.
If you do not have a broadband connection, please watch the videos on the CSTCC campus.
