RSS Feed Review

1. Why did you select the sites you subscribed to?

I selected these sites because they were sites that i often visit and I am interested in. 

       2. Was it easy to find feeds and to subscribe to them?

Sometimes were easier than others. Some of the sites had the feeds open in the obvious, but others had it hidden and I had to look for it.

      3. Which sites were your favorites?

My favorites were the ones that were my interests. I put mostly celebrity gossip because their problems entertain me. I also put the jets because I feel bad for them.

     4. What else can you use RSS feeds for?

You can use Rss feeds to get to sites and see their information faster.

     5. How likely are you to continue to use RSS feeds in the future?

Very likely. I feel they make things easier. I can also see all of my favorite sites information much faster than I could have if I didn't use the feeds.
