Learning about RSS & Podcasts

This week I have been learning about using RSS to check out news and stories that I like to check on each day. This was a somewhat challenging task - I think learning new technology is always challenging! And learning where different icons, etc are located. I did join Google Reader and added several RSS feeds to my site...I was able to add Chicago Tribune, Chicago Weather and Traffic, Today Show Book Review, and several others. I don't know how often I will be checking out the Google Reader, but it was interesting to learn how to add these sites and hopefully I will get more comforatable using it.

Podcasts are another great way of getting information over the internet. I was able to listen to a Podcast from NPR titled "An Author's Personal Library Lost and Found" and found another interesting site called "Authors on Tour" that shares podcasts of authors and their books. Both of these podcasts were audio only, so I hope to find one that shares a video broadcast. Much to learn, but each new thing is exciting and challenges me to keep learning what is available on the internet!
