Feeds

You probably recognize the orange logo at the left. It is the web common web feed logo. More specifically the RSS logo. But what is web feed? Basically web feed is on websites that are constantly changing. By subscribing to feeds you can get informed when the website is updated. One way is by Google Feed Reader, but I will talk about that later. You can subscribe to the posts at the end of this page through Atom (another web feed). Here are the pros of feeds. You can get new info from the feed without going to the site. How does this help? This has lower risks of picking up viruses and lowers the need for phishing filters. Phishing is when a hacker copies a website in attempt to get the user's personal information such as pin number, Username & Password to an account, or a multitude of things that can have a negative effect on you. To subscribe to a feed there is (on some computers) an RSS feed symbol button that allows you to subscribe to feeds. I'd say the best way to get feeds is to go to Google Feed Reader and click "Add a subscription" then you can type in the website you want feeds from. A really interesting fact about subscribing to feeds is that you don't to give any personal information to subscribe to a feed. An alternative is to look up "feeds" in your help manual and then see if it says how to save it as a live bookmark. If not please explain the situation in the comments. Well in one sentence: "Web feeds are a way of getting information from sites without ads, viruses, phishing, or any other malicious ways of causing harm to you and your computer." If you have any questions about web feeds or ideas for new technology articles, please post them in the comments.
