Not to nitpick, but RSS isn't social networking. It is simply a means
to simplify the flow of information. I can understand folks not
wanting to get into Twitter, but to my way of thinking, RSS is
something inherently useful for the blind. As long as your feed
reader is accessible, you can get to all of the new news stories,
articles and even sale items on commercial pages without having to
dig through all of the drek on the sites' main pages. I wasn't
previously aware that there was a way to get a feed from someone's
Twitter feed though, learn something new every day. I recommend
WebIE's accessible RSS reader, it works as a two frame setup, the
first pane is a list of subscribed feeds and one only needs to press
enter to jump to the selected feed and update the list of stories and
entries. Then one only needs to hit enter on whatever entry one is
interested in and the article is opened in your browser. No need to
wade through all of the junk on the CNN front page, just a nice list
of all of the headlines, and when you are through, you shift tab back
to the list of feeds and find the next one you want to check.
I guess some people still prefer to do things the old fashioned way,
but personally, I prefer the ability to get to the real content quicker.
Regards,
Chris
