Second Life is a virtual reality game which gives you the flexibility of 'living a second' life. There are many limitations in our real world and a virtual world will bridge the gap between what is real and what is not. Imagine:
1. Becoming a hero in a game where you wield a huge sword and save the world
2. A tycoon in the virtual world where you are filthy rich in every aspects
3. Have dates virtually and in marry the same woman in reality
This is what Second Life can offer. Something that you can't do in the real world but is possible in the virtual world. Here are some dudes in Second Life watching a RSS Feed virtually. What a life!

Well I want to make a second part of what is RSS - really simple syndication. This time I found a video from YouTube explaining great facts on the Internet as well as RSS.
It's a video clip where a teacher like guy uses a white board with paper cuttings explaining in simple term what is RSS and why RSS is needed.
It looks like a video for noobies - oh well there's always a first time and I'm a noob :D...
Enjoy it!

I just felt that I should talk a little about success and the attitude that will bring you success. You see, I'm a full-time blogger and I am not really working. I've been blogging for more than half a year now and I make twice as much now compared to my last pay. I've been trying to tell my friends that it's great blogging and that you can make money out of it.
There are some people who I have met and tried to pass down my blogging secrets. At that point they seemed excited and was willing to give it a try. To my dismay, they stopped a few days later! I know because when I visit their blog - there weren't any updates.
It's a rule of thumb that your new blog has at least 20 posts before you start monetizing it. My friends couldn't even reach their second post.
Well like John Chow said, pick a topic that you like and you'll need to update your blog every now and then to maintain your visitors from visiting your site the next day.
It's all about attitude and your attitude will bring you success. Laziness will destroy you and pretending NOT to know is a SIN!
It's just a little rant - hope no offence taken. Cheers and have a great day ahead! |

Ok now that both you and I are aware of RSS, functions and simple terminology, I guess that it's appropriate to explain what Netvibes can do. I'm using this RSS reader for months now and I think it's pretty convenient. Take a look at the screenshot below:
As you can see, there are small little windows scattered on the screen. These tiny windows is where you keep track of the RSS links which you put on your Netvibes. Each time the owner updates the blog, you will get the title of the blog post instantly.
I usually rely on Netvibes to keep track of multiple websites which I visit daily. I got fed-up using bookmarking as I kept loosing my links on my Firefox and Internet Explorer.
Give Netvibes a try! |

I'm learning as well. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. I guess that if you are new to RSS, just like me, this video is a really good tutorial in getting you started. It shows you what RSS is for and how to benefit from using RSS.
I guess that it will definitely save you loads of time without actually visiting the actual site. Simply see the title of the latest post on your RSS and see whether it is interesting or not. If not, you don't visit the site. If it is, simply click on the link and you'll be redirected to the site.
It's a blessing as well as a curse. RSS saves you time but web owners might loose the crucial traffic because of RSS usage. What do you think?
