This blog was really created to fulfill a class assignment for the Knight Centre's Digital Journalism course. Hopefully, it will continue on and not go the way of all my other blogs, which I usually delete when boredom sets in...lol
The assignment is to subscribe to an RSS reader with five feeds and two new searches.
I chose to download Google Reader, mainly because I use different computers during the day- the office computer while I am in the office, and my Mac Book at night, when I get home. With Google Reader, I can access all my news and blogs no matter where I am, and since I have been Google user for the last year, it's just easier to share clips with friends who are on my email list.
The feeds I added are from:
Caribbean Net News: A regional roundup of news
BBC Caribbean: For up-to-date news on the Caribbean
Caribbean PR: A blog run by a PR practitioner, which covers technology and other PR trends in the region
The Manicou Report: A satirical look at life in the Caribbean
Caribbean Cricket: Cricket blog that is on the pulse of cricket in the Caribbean.
The News searches are from:
Google
Yahoo
In both I tailored my searches to all things Caribbean and RSSed them to Google Reader.
