What is a RSS Feed? (Module 8)

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a powerful feature and a tool that helps me manage the information overload that can be a problem with trying to track too many things.

I use Pageflakes as an RSS aggregator and have 3 public pages:
Welcome Page with some news and tools
Edna and EduBlogs with the Blogs that I like to track
Science Feeds with a compilation of feeds that may interest teachers of chemistry and science generally.

My Pageflakes profile was established on 7th November 2007. I thank the Catholic Education Commission for that as I was introduced to the tool at a CEC Web2.0 day. Whilst I might not visit my flakes daily, I still check them every couple of days.
