Session 5: RSS Feeds
I found this session a little more challenging. Possibly because I started using my yahoo adress and then my g mail address but I started again and managed to add a few feeds. The sites I selected were About Animals/Wildlife; BBC News; The Courier Mail; EW.com Movie reviews; National Geographic News: Animals and Nature; and Scientific American. The good thing about RSS feeds is that you are notified about information that may be of interest to you. A person is more aware of what is going on as generally people don't have the time to aimlessly 'surf the net' to find relevant information. It's better if this information somewhat 'comes to them'. I couldn't do the Adventure section of Session 5. When I got to the page that had 'Add a page element' at the top I couldn't find the icon for 'adding a feed' so I wasn't able to do that. Anyone can help? Thanks.

Session 4: Social Networking
I've just finished Session 4 and realise social networking is a great way to find contacts, not just in a social setting but in working environments such as cultural institutions. It enables people with similar interests to 'find each other' through a mutual contact. I do have my own Facebook account set up but don't really use it that much. On it are just my friends and relatives. However, it would be great to set one up for contacts that share similar interests in a work setting. Then if they have found an interesting journal article, they can communicate it quickly and easily to all by posting it on their wall.
