Week 4 -- Exercise #9

I believe that is is possible that I can work through these exercises using weekly tips from the Virtual Services Team. Just like everything I do in my life, I don't mind hard work. In addition, I have a strong will and determination to successfully complete tasks.

When there is a chance to work with another person, I don't hesitate to join since I find that working in a team is fun and productive. Furthermore, any task will be complete in shorter time.

There are times when a teenager does know more than her mother. It is a blessing to see that a teenager will have opportunities to go further than her mother can ever dream of doing.

RSS-an acronym for Really Simple Syndication and Rich Site Summary.
I found some useful information at this website http://www.rss-specifications.com

Feedster.com

It allows the search by date and relevance. However, the results from searches didn't seem relevant.

Topix.net
Local news for the world. Typing a country, and you get most recent news or just look at the News Front Page.

Syndic8.com
First third page of results had 2003 date. It was a bit outdated. It also had XML which Rafe Niddleman of CNET described as paid subscription, but can feed through other sources.

Technorati.com
The set up for Top searches, Popular and Top Tags are nice, but the standard search resulted in book collection, BMW, and a description of a Sping Break Diary puzzled me.

Standard feed icon is a standard orange icon. I won't forget the color.
