THING FOUR: Serendipity

Speardiver at Spear23nights made a nice point about RSS feeds possibly limiting the area one might cover on the internet. Speardiver asks, " Will we become narrow in our focus and forget to look at a greater variety of websites?"

The point is that while providing easy, speedy access to familiar sites, these feeds may inadvertently limit the potential browser to sites which have an appeal based on familiarity.

There is a value to the serendipitous experience; the accidental stumbling upon something heretofore unknown.

Don't let your feeds lead to a malnourished mind.
