USA Today: RSS and Students!

August 3, 2005 By Will Richardson

Now we’re getting somewhere. If I’m not mistaken, this is the first article I’ve seen from the MSM that portrays RSS as a learning tool:

Ediriwickrema is part of the growing number of on-the-go, sleep-deprived students who recognize the value of an Internet technology called RSS and are milking its benefits for use in the classroom.

Now it doesn’t go into a lot of detail on exactly how to use RSS effectively, but it does mention Pluck (which I just installed into Firefox, by the way) and Onfolio as some alternatives to Bloglines. And I still can’t believe that only five percent of the six million who say they get their news from the Internet are using RSS. Amazing. But I’m thinking this is a nice step in the right direction…
