RSSandBlogs

=RSS Feeds= . I signed up for a RSS Feed aggregator through Feedly. However, I cannot share my feed with you without upgrading to Pro to unlock "collection sharing". When I click on this link ([]) my feed shows up, however I am logged into my Google account and Feedly is linked to that account.

I used to use Google Reader linked to my iGoogle page for sites that I read on a daily basis. Google has since shut down both applications. Are RSS feeds a thing of the past? If Google shutters their, are they still viable? And I have not seen many RSS buttons on websites since the rise of Twitter, Pintrest, and other social sharing applications.

Netvibes is an online desktop very close to my favorite iGoogle application now defunct. It includes many desktop widgets which includes an RSS Reader/Feed. This fact is almost buried in the other, more modern apps for Twitter, Facebook, and the like. (Again, I could not find a way to "share" my newly made page with you.)

Once I had the ability to "share" these aggregators, I could show students an easy way to say up on current events in my subject area. Current events is something that I do not usually bring to my students on a daily basis, because a) recent literature and publications is written WAY over our heads and b) mainstream media's summaries and reporting on scientific is incomplete at best and click-bait at worst. Other daily blogs/sites I check out not are ElectoralVote.com and 538, because I am kind of an election junkie.

The Bloglines link mentioned in the Course Content area is no longer working.

My phone came with Flipboard as a default, already installed on the home-screen app. I deleted it immediately only because that is what I do to all pre-installed bloatware on phones and computers. . =Blogs= .
