Oprah's at it again! RSS feeds

Last week in class, I have to admit that I was a little overwhelmed when learning about RSS feeds. I had an idea of what RSS feeds were but being that I am unfamiliar with computer terminology, I wasn't entirely confident. That was until I read the article "How to explain RSS the Oprah way"

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" but I like Oprah's terminology better -- "Ready for Some Stories" Though the phrasing is really simple, I now have a visual of what RSS's are. Essentially -- they are the latest headlines within a website or a blog that are constantly changing and allows a reader to save time in searching a web page.

Thanks Oprah. You've done it again!
