First Impressions of RSS Reader

I never heard about RSS Reader before taking this class. I know that sounds like I was the one left behind the tech trends. But thanks to the class, I can catch them again.

I spent several hours to play with RSS Reader yesterday. So, today, this post is about my first impressions of "Feedreader."

Feedreader provides two options at the welcome page for you, one is "Feedreader online," the another is "Feedreader Observe." "Feedreader online" is what people usually use to view RSS subscriptions online. "Feedreader Observe" use to preview any site's RSS feed before subscribing to it and find alternative news sources. 

I chose to use "Feedreader online" directly. It's easy to sign in with your Gmail or Facebook account, or you can sign up with your email separately. After signing into the page, even if the designer did not set up a simple user guide, I can easily understand how to use it. A big "Add a new feed" green button leads you to create a new feed. You just need to simply add the website or blog URLs, "Feedreader online" will do the rest of the things for you. I can keep up with all the newest information on websites and blogs I followed after setting up the RSS. Also, I can mark the news as read or not.

So far, I enjoy my user experience with Feedreader. If "Feedreader" could allow their user set up the skin theme, that could increase the user experience significantly.

I also found another RSS Reader online if you want to try some different.

"Feeder"
Praised for its easy reading experience. The official website claimed it is the easiest way to follow news from your favorite website and blog. But it will charge you $2 per month after 14 days free experience. I don't want to spend money on that, but I like its interfacial design.

In general, if you are blog or news fanatic who want to collect as much information as you can, RSS Readers can make your life easier. They will help you to save time and energy of having to visit each site individually. Don't forget to find one RSS Reader that truly match your lifestyle; your life would be change!

    Nice! Seems Feedreader is easier than Diggreader. Did you ever encounter problems when you put in URLs?

      I did not meet any problems yet, but what kind of the challenges have you encountered? Would you mind sharing them more accurate?

4th of July, Nationalism and Social Media

I went to the Aaron Bessant Park, Panama City yesterday for the so called the greatest 4th of July firework show in the gulf coast area. The Aaron Bessant Park was decorated with flags, banners, and other decorations embedded with the elements of national flag's colors. People who joined this great celebration equipped with national flag colors' face painting, national elements' cloth, national elements' garniture, and, of course, their smartphone. From two hours before Panama City Firework Show until the party was over. People kept twittering, posting pictures on Instagram, texting on the Facebook, sending messages, and hosting live stream. No matter what they were doing, there was only one topic that is "4th of July". I noticed that people were creating a magnificent carnival embedded with nationalism at social media in that 3 hours firework show party. Whenever and wherever you are, with your phone or other appliance which is online available; as long a

What a Wonderful Summer

Endless lightning, afternoon raining, crazy AC bill, heat and humid, everything around me reminds me this is the dog days of summer in Florida. Moving around the corner, the final week on the way, and everything looks like mixed up together. I suffer, sweat and exhausted, but I believe I will be the survivor like a hero in the movie. This class gave me a lot of opportunities to play and discover web 2.0 tools and social media features. And also brought a lot of new experiences for me. In the discussion board, we talked a lot of different topics related to the social media and web 2.0. Different perspectives, ideas, and points from classmates were always blown my mind. Through RSS, I was able to track almost every classmates' posts. Everyone has its own style and different point of interest, I can find a lot of fresh views through reading posts. Every week, I can play with different new web 2.0 and social media tools. Some of them are totally new to me. I can learn how to use th

Begin “Blog Story”

Hi, Welcome to Johnny's "Summer C 2017 Blog." I am so happy that I have a chance to get back to this fantastic social media tool again! Because I remember the last time I use blog was like 12 years ago!!! I want to share a story about blog and me today with you. I can still remember the first blog I created was on the "Sina" website. "Sina blog" is just a collective name which people who they set up their blog on the Sina' blog site. There's no doubt, at that time, "Sina blog" was the most popular blog site in China. But today, along with the rise of the web 2.0 and social media, “Sina blog" and other blog sites has gradually faded from our view. The reason why I created that blog is that my mom was a journalist, she was always on the cutting edge of the social media trend. When blog came into China, my mom thought that would be an excellent opportunity to generate a new mean of communication for her company. My mom told me
