What
Can Be Published Using RSS Feeds?
With all the vast amounts of information available on the
web, it is becoming more and more difficult to sort through
and find what you are looking for. RSS significantly lowers
the signal-to-noise ratio. RSS has the unique ability to compile
information and filter it, so you only see unique and relevant
content. The information superhighway has become packed with
content, and those familiar with technology are using RSS to
filter the content, allowing them to drill down and access only
the content they want, without having to wade through all the
noise.

Video
Podcast Tutorial
Videocasting is simply distributing video content using
RSS. The process is suprisingly simple, and by making video
content available using RSS, videocasters give listeners more
control over what they listen to and when. Also, many podcasts
are available for syndication, which increases a broadcasters
exposure.

Updating
the Curriculum to Include Podcasting and Twitter
Should children be taught about Twitter, blogging, podcasts,
Wikipedia, and the many other ways of interacting with the Web?
Maybe. But should these subjects replace important lessons from
our history, such as the Second World War and the Victorians?
This is what could happen in British primary school if the plans
for a new curriculum drawn up by Sir Jim Rose, the former chief
of Office for Standards in Education, are accepted and implemented.
