Pageflakes.com is my new discovery. You are able to set it up as your home page, attach your RSS reads, connect to Facebook, have the weather right in front of you each morning as you wake up and read your favorites, and even attach your to do list to keep you organized. Andy Carvin in his article entitled What is RSS? explains that RSS, Really Simple Syndication, allows publishers of web articles to simply find updates to a set number of articles of interest. One such article on RSS's suggested that you limit your list to five blogs to follow to begin with. You are able to add to this list or subtract by a simple click of the mouse. No longer is it necessary to log in to all of your favorite blogs, now you are able to just list them on your RSS and as they are updated, you will receive the update on your RSS. What is next? Until next time . . . .
