Web 2.0 tools are permitting an abundance of information to be placed on the web. Currently there are any number of devices which can be utilized to create text, images, and video; all of which can be published to the internet without using computer code. With a low-cost barrier to entry, nearly everyone can publish to the web; the challenge to readers is to “collect potentially relevant information for their lives and careers and quickly discern what of that information is most useful” (Richardson, p. 73, 2009).
RSS (Real Simple Syndication) offer several solutions. Subscribing to an RSS feed means that content is delivered to your blog so that you no longer need to visit the original website. Individuals may narrow content by focusing on keywords such as “H1N1 Pennsylvania” or “Jodi Picoult”. Either approach means the rapid delivery of up-to-date and usually meaningful content. RSS feeds allow for groups of individuals to communicate and share information quickly and easily.
