I think RSS newsfeeds can be used here at the University to distribute UVI announcements to staff, faculty and students. RSS newsfeeds can be viewed on computers, cell phones or other portable devices. RSS newsfeeds can also send me updated headlines daily. I like this because I don't have to actually go to the webpage and search for what articles I want to see.
When adding feeds to my blogs I noticed that some of the feeds were written in XML (extensible markup lanquage). I learned about this technology and had a programming class in XML at the University of Phoenix. This lanquage makes it possible for you to define your own tags in a programming lanquage and separate the data from presentation. This means that you can store all the data in one file (ex. news articles) and design different CSS (cascading stylesheets) to be used on different devices like a pc, cell phone or pda. This way you only have to update one data file.
I located my RSS feeds using the search tool in bloglines and by going to websites that I regularly visit and looking for an RSS icon.
I added my bloglines feeds to my blog.
