Module 8 Google Reader

Module 8 Google reader
This is something that I had briefly dabbled in previously. Having said that I have set up RSS feeds but I had not done anything in particular to keep up with them or read them regularly.
Like many of the areas we have covered in this course I can see the benefit of keeping data such as this (RSS feeds) in one specific location.
The advantage of covering this in the course has reacquainted me with this form of data gathering. I also see it as a way of collecting excess and at times unnecessary information.
With respect to subscribing to these feeds the process is usually quite simple, any sites that have this type of access/feeds will usually have details at bottom of website. It is a simple process to subscribe using google and adding to google reader and should flow through, this means that RSS feeds can be located at one place.
While experimenting with adding feeds (Board of Studies) we discovered the problem of feeds automatically going to Explorer, this was overcome by copying and pasting the https: address and pasting into Google Reader.
