RSS Feeds Project Responses

1. Why did you select the sites you subscribed to?

I picked these sites because I love sports of all kinds, and I like to be informed of all different kinds of news sources whether it be around the world, restricted for the US, or from CNN or ABC. It does not matter to me where I get my news from or my sports info from.

2. Was it easy to find feeds and to subscribe to them?

It was difficult, actually. Sometimes it would be easy like right at the top right corner. Othertimes, it would be all the way to the bottom of the page and scroll, which is a hassle. It would not even be on the page and I had to type "rss" into the page's search engine. It was just annoying and difficult to find in general.

3. Which sites were your favorites?

If I had to pick a favorite, most likely ESPN.com and NBA.com were my favorite sites to look at and read. I just love sports, specifically basketball.

4. What else can you use RSS feeds for?

RSS feeds can be used for a variety of ways. You can use it as a shortcut to find info on certain topic. You can use it as a possible source for an essay since you are still researching on a topic. Finally, you can use it as a message to let your friends know on news if they did not know about it yet.

5. How likely are you to continue to use RSS feeds in the future?

For me, not very likely. I know it is a form of a shortcut, but it takes just as long to find what I am searching for by using the search engine as it is to even find the RSS icon, let alone copying and pasting into the digg reader. By the time I do that, I would have already found what I have been looking for.
