It's helpful to format these in a standard way so they can be understood by other applications such as a news reader phone app. For example, let's say you are really interested in learning how to cook, and you find 20 fantastic food blogs and 5 newspaper recipe pages. You could bookmark all 25 of these websites and visit them every day to see if something's new, but that would be a lot of work! Instead, you could use a feed reader to display all the new content in one place. You can open a single app or website and see what's new. If this sounds exciting, you might be wondering what feed reader to use. That's a matter of preference, and we don't recommend or support a specific product at Brown. It depends whether you want to read on a computer or a smartphone, and if there are other features you're looking for like social networking integration or slick design. Here are a few favorites: Feedly (computer / mobile) Digg Reader (computer / mobile) NewsBlur (computer / mobile) Pulse (mobile only) For example, if you wanted to subscribe to our IT at Brown alerts, you would right-click (PC) or control-click (Mac) on the RSS link at the top of the Alerts page and copy the link address. Next, you would open your preferred RSS reader and paste the link wherever you are able to add feeds. Here's what it looks like in Feedly: Tags Web Services.

  • What Is a Podcast? the Term Podcast Comes from a Combination of Ipod and Broadcast
    What is a podcast? The term podcast comes from a combination of iPod and Broadcast. Thus, it is a broadcast that is created to be listened to on a digital device of some kind: iPod or other MP3 player, SmartPhone, iPad or other tablet, or computer. A podcast can be entertainment, music, drama, sermon, health, business, or other coaching information. It is an MP3 file just like any song that you may listen to – only much larger. When you subscribe to my blog, you can simply listen by clicking the Play button embedded in the blog post. However, you may want to listen away from your computer. You can subscribe to podcasts and have them automatically delivered to your MP3 player for you to listen to whenever you wish. Or you can go out and listen from a site like iTunes or Stitcher. If you have a SmartPhone or Tablet, you can install an app that will collect these podcasts for you. Subscribing in iTunes You must have an iTunes account and have iTunes on your device. Go to this link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/finding-your-groove-kathleen/id829978911 That will bring you to this screen Click the button that says “View in iTunes” That opens this window in iTunes Click the Subscribe button just underneath the photo. To share this podcast with someone else, click the drop-down arrow just to the right of the Subscribe button. That will give you these share options: Tell a Friend, Share on Twitter, Share on Facebook, Copy Link (allows you to manually e-mail someone).

Towards devaluation of professional journalistic criteria La sindicación de contenidos en los agregadores de noticias: Hacia la devaluación de los criterios profesionales periodísticos Dr. Concha Edo is Professor in the Department of Journalism and Global Communication at the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain) ([email protected]) (https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6960-867X) Dr. Juan Yunquera is Assistant Professor in the Department of Journalism and Audio-visual Communication at the University Carlos III of Madrid (Spain) ([email protected]) (https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4062-1659) Dr. Helder Bastos is Professor in the Department of Communication and Information Sciences at the University of Porto ([email protected]) (https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6351-4610) ABSTRACT The growing expansion of Internet access and mass-scale usage of social networking platforms and search engines have forced digital newspapers to deal with challenges, amongst which are the need to constantly update news, the increasing complexity of sources, the difficulty of exercising their function as gatekeepers in a fragmented environment in which the opinions, biases and preconceptions of pundits, their followers, Twitter users, etc. has taken on a new and decisive weight and the mounting pressure to publish certain news items simply because they sell. They must also share audiences with aggregators devoted to the business of disseminating content produced by digital news publishers, blogs and RSS feeds, which is chosen on the basis of search engine algorithms, the votes of users or the preferences of readers.

  • RSS Readers & Customized Dashboards
    Legal Services National Technology Assistance Project www.lsntap.org RSS Readers & Customized Dashboards RSS stands for "Rich Site Summary" and it is a dialect of XML. Although the technical definition of RSS isn't the easiest to understand, don't let that scare you away from this useful timesaving tool. If you are unfamiliar with RSS, I recommend this short video: RSS in Plain English. It explains RSS simply and shows you how to subscribe to feeds by looking for this logo on your favorite blogs and websites. In addition to the orange RSS icon, look for these icons as well Once you've subscribed to several sites, you view them in your RSS reader of choice. The video recommends using Google Reader which no longer exists. Below is a list of RSS readers and dashboards to help you keep all of your RSS feeds in one convenient location. Most RSS readers allow you to subscribe to feeds directly from their website by simply typing in a URL, ie www.lsntap.org will give you the headlines for all of LSNTAP's blog posts. A lot of RSS readers have additional features which allow you to create customized dashboards with RSS feeds, email, weather, etc. There are many more RSS readers out there. If one of these isn't exactly what you are looking for, I suggest doing some more research. Here is a list of RSS readers that you might find useful. Netvibes/Bloglines (Great Free version) Both sites allows you to create multiple dashboards. You can have a dashboard for work, home, or for different projects.
