RSS is a Life Raft, Saving Us from a Sea of Useless Information |
One of the main problems with the Internet these days is the fact that there is so much information out there; it can be quite hard to find the particular knowledge that you?re looking for. It can often feel like you?re surfing waves of thick chocolate fudge sauce and your honeycomb board has a crack that?s getting wider by the second. Over stimulus is the issue here; you wanted to read opinions from music enthusiasts about music, and every second blog article had to do with new punk hairdo trends and which band has the coolest tattoos. How can we find only the content we?re looking for without getting bogged down in miscellaneous information that erodes both time and patience?
The answer is in context. There?s now a way to sift through the cacophony of babble and wisdom to find exactly what you?re looking for. Instead of having to join clubs and organizations and receive their newsletters via email at their convenience you can now have control over what you receive. Having to search through millions of blogs to find the few you like has now become an obsolete task. The new system is called an RSS Reader: ?Rich site summary? or ?really simple syndication? are the common definitions of this software. The process begins by signing up to receive automatic updates from blogs and other Web sites that distribute summaries of their latest postings to your reader. You then find which ones you like and delete the rest. You can keep adding new sites until you have literally hundreds of informative connections in your areas of specific interest.
Another great aspect of the RSS Reader program is the fact that you can put in key words of interest and the computer will surf the Web for you and add new blogs and web sites to your list, rating them according to the terms you have selected. You then scan over these and add the ones you feel are relevant, deleting the detritus. Eventually you will have an email-style formatted file where you can search through all your favourite writers, news, and topics? latest information. Then you also have functions such as ?comment? so you can automatically share your input with your fellow humans. Or, you can reply to the ?messages? and actually communicate with the producers of the ideas.
This will really help to decentralise the information sharing processes of the current top-down mass communication systems like the media. We can hear multiple opinions on an issue and give our own views, instead of being told one story that is heavily affected by the company?s personal perspective of the situation.
So, you can see this has the potential for something quite big. Less time wasted, finding all the knowledge you?re looking for, and sharing your opinion and meeting others similar to yourself has never been so easy. The RSS Reader is a knife cutting away all the useless packaging, revealing the true content of the gift of the Internet. Jesse S. Somer
