Week#4, Thing 9 -- Favorite Feed

Too much, too many, of everything! I found this particular assignment overwhelming and mentally draining. There is so much information out there that I cannot seem to assimilate it. Obviously I am an immigrant and not a native to technology like today's student -- they seem to thrive on having so many options or they know how to pick and choose what they want more easily. I did find one particular link that I really liked: http://scienceroll.com/feed/, which contains information in video format about several web 2.o technology, but also contain information about Medicine 2.0 tools that I think would help students studying biology or human anatomy. I watched all the video on the initial page and found them to be short, easy to understanding, and would help anyone with understanding the basics of a wiki, twitter, podcasting, blogs, etc. I think that finding feeds is a marvelous tool, but feel each person should limit themselves to the feeds that meet their needs and not attempt to keep up with too many. It is like the world of blogging is a game and everybody wants to outdo others -- I much prefer a bit of quiet and less competition in my life.
