Alex Iskold at The Read/Write Web has a good summary of the history and the future of RSS.

Sometimes you want to blog about an article in the New York Times. The only problem is that the page you’re linking to will after a week or so becomes archived and inaccessible, unless the reader wants to pay for it. To have a permanent link from your blog to the article, use the NY Times Link Generator (via weblogg-ed).

I just noticed at my wetpaint wiki that it has 4 feeds you can subscribe to: New pages, recently updated pages, most active pages, and recent comments. Just look in the navigation sidebar for the words ” Site Reports & RSS Feeds” and click on the arrow. Wikispaces also has feeds. Just click on the “Notify me” tab, and you’ll see feeds for page edits and discussion. Using these feeds would be helpful in keeping up with and learning from your classmates’ work.
