RSS Assignment

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

I selected the sites I subscribed to because they are sites that interest me personally. My favorite sport is track and field and i love anything that involves the topic. In concern with the news and government portion, I like to know what is going in the world around me. 

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

It wasn't so difficult finding the feeds.However, many of the sites I first visited, sadly didn't have the RSS feed. It was kind of a problem because it made it more difficult for me to find sources that had the RSS feed and interest me in matters of my sport .

3. Which sites were your favorites?

One of my favorite feeds was the elf cosmetics blog, since i love makeup. It provided me with information about certain makeup looks that i wanted to try, for example, during the holiday season. The track and field feeds provided me with information about my favorite athletes and outlooks on the best turnouts of the sport. They kept me updated on what interest me.


4. What else can you use RSS feeds for?

You can use RSS feeds for getting other information you want out there. It can quickly widespread throughout the internet. Recipes and or other information you will like others to use and benefit from it. 


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

There is a good change of my using RSS feeds in the future to keep me updated on my sport events and news.
