Thing 7: finding RSS Feed

at US governemnt RSS Library i found 2 interesting news i would like to know about 1) energy conservation and 2) Water. i placed those in my google reader.

in america.gov i added to google reader three rss feeds. 1) human rights 2) human rights in Arabic 3) development. i found these topics while browizing the links provided in the thing 7. these are the topics i am usually interested in.

it is very easy to subscribe to rss fees.

i loved doing the google alert. i created 3 alerts so far.

Thing 6: RSS

in this i have added 3 feeds in my google readeer
1) Daily Kos (news)
2) Mark Bittman (food )
3) Search Engine Land

What i like about news readers is that the news find you instead of finding them. it is easier.

Thing 2: Search For Blogs

i have commented on the IRC Community Blog on the article about the ejournal SEE IN AMERICA on June 13, 2010

i have seen this blog before and feel that it provides a lot of information for the IRCs. Its very rich with information that assist us IRC directors to do better job and provide better services. i am glad that we have such a channel to back us up with termindous info .
