For my R&D paper I decided to go with the topic: RSS and its use in Management Information Systems. I choose this because I have been seeing this RSS symbol on a lot of web pages and was not really sure what is was all about so I figured this would be a good topic for me to learn about.
I have started looking for articles and have already found that his will be a very interesting topic. There are about seven different definitions for RSS currently in use: some of them I found so far are Rich Site Summary, RDF Site Summary, and the original Really Simple Syndication.
I guess my first question for this assignment will be how to use this media delivery format in MIS? I think I will begin at Wikipedia to get some background on RSS then move on to applications.

Rich,
this is a very interesting topic, indeed. I recently started using RSS feeds myself. I have to say, I love the concept. I'm even using some on my blog page (near the bottom), subscribing to content related to my R&D topic as well. You can also check out my 4/29/08 post.
success on your paper!

Hi Rich,
You and Hemdel sparked my curiosity with the RSS feed, so I added one to my site.
I too always wondered what that meant - Now I know! It was really fun to learn. I wasn't too original, I added the one Hamdel had - CIO.com :)
Good luck with the paper!
Julie
Thanks for the comments Julie and Hamdel,
I'm doing my paper on RSS and didn't even think of subscribing to one (or many) myself!! Duh!
