RSS - Really Simple It Is!

...and it is also addicting!

I think that using RSS feeds is a great way to cut down the time it takes to travel to all your favourite (or required) websites and possibly shuffle through information you may have already read. Here you get it all in one location and can quickly scan the items that are of interest to you - like a one-stop shop!

This technology is a very simple tool that centres could incorporate into their webpages as another way to stay connected to students - now we just have to make sure that students know how to use it as well. Using RSS feeds as a means to collect research about career trends and other career centres would be effective as well, once initial searching for useful sites and subscribing to the feeds has been completed.

My verdict: YES to RSS!
