RSS and Netvibes.com are my new friends!
I'm just setting up my www.netvibes.com home page and I'm all fired up about it. I've had a vague understanding about what RSS feeds are for a long time..... I keep up on the lingo at least... I heard Leo Laporte (Twit.tv) mention that he liked netvibes.com when he made a little cameo appearance on one of the video Podcasts I like (commandN.tv), so I thought I'd check it out. What I really like is the ability to create tabs for your own catagories of RSS feeds. I know I'm just scratching the surface in my exploration of what's 'out there' in the world of RSS.... In addition to the basic news services CNN, ABC, FOX, REUTERS, WiredNEWS, I've added feeds from my favorite Vid Podcasts like Diggnation, Geekbrief, ... There's a Google search feed that you can place right on the top of the page, and there's a great little "webnote' feature - which is like a post-it note for the page.... If I place a website in there it makes it a clickable hyperlink. I've found that I can grab the rss feed of a blog by 'viewing' the page source code and copying the http which ends in ...atom.xml. Some have a link to their code, but many don't .... But many aren't worth 'bookmarking' anyway..... like this one? I've just gotten excited about the idea of blogging. I've been 'ho-hum' about it for a long time. Who has time for this, right? I set Suzanne and the kids up with blogger.com accounts and I'm starting to bug them everyday to get into it. Yeah, that'll work!
