I have discovered the joy of RSS/XML readers. For those of you unfamiliar with RSS readers, let me explain it. RSS (Really Simple Syndicatioin) and XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is the raw HTML code webmasters use to syndicate their site. Basically this means that with RSS/XML readers you don’t necessarily need to view the webpage you want to read. In a reader its like having headlines and articles emailed to you, without necessarily clogging up your email.
The reader I’ve been using is Sharpreader. It’s quick and simple to use. In order to find RSS and XML syndication, you’ll need to look for XML (usually in an orange box) at the bottom of many webpages.
I’ve subscribed to quite a few websites including…
- Linkfilter
- Boingboing
- Metafilter
- Monkeyfilter – Metafilter clone.
- Slashdot
Hey Jeff,
It’s good to see the site back up. It was also good to talk to you on the phone recently. By the way, an interesting thing happened with the Elliot man who shot his ex-wife, son and daughter. He recently got in touch with some members of the church who are taking him some literature that they requested of me. They evidently knew him before he started drinking and when he wasn’t so mean. Anyway, I suppose anyone can repent…King Manesseh did in the OT.
Talk to you later,
Tim
