RSS "Really Simple Syndication" is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS document, which is called a "feed", "web feed", or "channel", contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that's easier than checking them manually.
RSS content can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader" or an "aggregator". The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds.

Please remember to file for an MPLS bundle MissIN3 this ERATE cycle! All libraries must be off MissIN2 by December 31, 2008!!!! If you need assistance to get started call NSB Help Desk or Treasure Stover.
MLC is pursuing a webinar type tool. We hope to be annoucing a pilot project soon where you can participate in live video meetings with us. If you are interested in being a part of the pilot, send an email to tcstover@mlc.lib.ms.us and mention you are interested. We need to know three things, 1) you have at least one late model pc or laptop with a web cam, (2) internet explorer browser version 6.00 or higher on that pc or laptop, and (3) a phone you can be called on close to where that pc or laptop is. We will be choosing from that pool of volunteers, but we will most likely pick only those from that pool with the bandwidth, in our opinion, able to handle it. This is neither restricted to legacy (MissIN2) nor MPLS (MissIN3) sites. - Treasure
Do I need a wap phone, internet browser capable phone, smartphone, pda or all of the above? It depends on how you plan to use a device.
If you want a quick way to check your emails, and weather a WAP phone or a phone with an internet browser is probably all you need. If you want to store contacts, calendar information, etc. You probably want either a smartphone or pda (personal data assistant). The difference between a smartphone and a pda is basically the smartphone is a pda with a cell phone included in the device.
Web sites are your business card to the world. Some feel websites should remain more static, i.e. your picture, your recommended links, information about your company, documents to download, etc. Websites are more about information and "corporate" vision, and approved content. Wikis and Blogs are more about opinions and sharing comments.
Wikis are a way you can collaberate and post articles, ideas, etc. with a bunch of people as editors.
Blogs are a way you can control what is posted, but still allow for collaberative comments, poll taking, and push news.
