While I currently am subscribed to RSS feeds from MSNBC News, for this class I will also follow feeds from NPR. NPR offered a variety of topics to choose from and I have selected the business category which will keep me up-to-date on the latest news from reports on Wall Street to the world financial markets. Once I linked the RSS feed to my MSN email account, which I view through Outlook, the very first story caught my attention talking about a 10 year low in construction spending. This story hits home because my husband recently started a general contracting company and despite the current economic conditions we have been fortunate enough to remain busy. After reading the article the decline is related more towards residential construction and not commercial, which collaborates with our current situation.
Throughout this course, I will tend to follow the stories on NPR that relate to something I have a direct interest in or an area that I am curious to learn more about. The link to NPR is http://www.npr.org/rss/.
