Assignment 4

I found it a bit tricky to grasp this exercise, but by the 4th tutorial I started to see a trend and it made a bit more sense. While the formatting is different, it is very similar to some 'tickers' I use on my home computer that automatically send me sports updates and weather changes.

Finding my own RSS's to use became easier when I realized that the internet explorer browser I use has the organe RSS icon on the top of the screen, and by clicking that I could automatically link with the newsfeeds.

From a work perspective, I could see this being useful to keep staff updated. We are constantly checking websites to see if there are any changes to funding, regulations, etc etc, and having a way to check all the sites in one convenient spot would be very efficient.

You are absolutely right, many organizations are starting to use RSS feeds to keep their own employees up to date, never mind their clients. LOL.
