How dose using RSS feeds help assist you as a student here at UCD?

RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it. Since my now knowing what the little orange symbol that I keepet seeing popping up all over the place when I was surfing the web, It has helped me hugely in keeping up with the news topics that im am interested in. My netvibes account which I am starting to relies how it really could become part of my daily life by looking at the RSS feeds on it. As a student they can I have started to find it really helps me when I am trying to research a topic which I have an assignment for. For instiance the netvibes site last week when I was looking at SIPTU and their stirkes regarding the wage hikes, it gave me a link to all the newspaper articals on the topic, I really feel when I get more used to using RSS I wont be able to do any research without the as they are so helpful in organizing exactly what I want from the web and it finds it for me. I really don’t know how I have survived without them up till now.
