RSS is a term I have heard about but wasn't really aware of what it was. It was interesting to find out that it stands for Really Simple Sindication and is commonly referred to as Push Technology.
I think it would be useful to make students aware of the fact that they can keep up to date with certain websites and web 2.0 tools by subscribing to them or setting up RSS feeds. I could encourage them to subscribe to my youtube account so that they are instantly notified of any new videos I add/recommend. Social media networks such as twitter or facebook also use this kind of 'push' services in a form of notifying followers/friends of any changes to the user's timeline.
