TEACHERS NEED FEEDING!

theenglishteacher on May 2nd, 2009

Calling all teachers on Twitter, if you have a blog/website and would like me to add your feeds, please leave a comment below, my feeds are all pushed via my BlackBerry.

The use of RSS (the most common translation is now “Really Simple Syndication”) is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. An RSS document (which is called a “feed”, “web feed” or “channel”) includes full or summarized text, plus meta such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. RSS feeds can be read using software called an “RSS reader”, “feed reader”, or “aggregator”, which can be web-based, desktop-based, or mobile-device-based. A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed’s URL, often referred to informally as a “URL” (uniform resource locator), although technically the two terms are not exactly synonymous, into the reader, or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader checks the user’s subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds.RSS formats are specified using XML, a generic specification for the creation of data formats. Although RSS formats have evolved since March 1999, the RSS icon (““) first gained widespread use between 2005 and 2006.

I’ve never known what all of those letters stood for! It’s amazing. Terms from the computer become everyday terms for us, and we don’t know anything about the origins.

Excuse my ignorance, but where would you “add the feeds” to?
I think I am overloaded at the moment – sorry Teacher :->

Hi Aniya,

Me 2 pls: http://kalinago.blogspot.com and http://how2learnenglish.blogspot.com

You’re a love for doing this – was wondering how you were able to tweet so efficiently. Don’t twist my arm on the blackberry issue though… think I’m hankering after the Prada phone. It just looks so darn sexy.
