step #4~rss feeds!

Ontdekoefeningen

the ontdekoefeningen is way to complex to cut and paste this time around so I will attempt to summarise…

  • read about rss feeds
  • make a netvibes account
  • include the following rss feeds on your account-nos, dok, marktplaats, gizmodo,
  • add your co-workers blogs
  • add the rss feed from 23dingen
  • add the 2 rss feeds from the nlbiblioblogs wiki
  • use it regularly

i actually already had a greader account that i made use of on a regular bases. since netvibes was recommended i figured i would give it a shot too. i actually like it more then greader i think. the way i am wired (i like to put things in boxes and label them…i like to make sure things are colour co-ordinated…i like structure…it helps me function on a far better stress reduced level…and in case i hadn’t figured that out on my own that accoumanagement test we did proved it) enjoys the fact that with netvibes i can move things around and put them in columns and colour code them according to what type of thing they are and move them into order of importance and play with the settings until i’m a happy camper. plus i can add a cool themed photo and such should i chose. the only thing i’m not willing to take advantage of is the ability to publish your rss feeds publicly so the world can view everything you have hooked yourself up to. that is going a little to far for me. not that i’ve linked to anything risqué…peoples magazine is still usually pretty g-rated…but i’m just not down with that kind of sharing…don’t be a sheep, go find your own stuff!

oh i’m not really anti-sheep. they are quite cute and fuzzy. they make great wool for knitting warm and lovely wearables but it is time we attempting to remove ourselves from the sheep herd mentality and expand our horizons…they say the grass is always greener on the other side.
