I believe that doing a little of something at a time is better than a lot of it at once. Of course, I occasionally don’t follow the idea. I sometimes cram for tests, prepare for meetings at the last minute, or complete projects the night before they’re due. One thing I do daily, however, is prepare for the SAT.
The CollegeBoard, which for now I will reserve judgement of, offers a service called “The Official SAT Question of the Day”. It’s exactly like it sounds, but I have a major criticism of it. It doesn’t use RSS for its questions.
RSS, Really Simple Syndication, allows one to “subscribe” to content on the web. That is, rather than a person manually checking for updates, one’s web browser, or an online service like Google Reader does it instead. Rather than checking 17 different sites daily, Google Reader tells me which ones have updates, saving me time. I even put a bookmarklet titled “Next” in my browser to quickly ‘shuffle‘ between my favorite sites.
CollegeBoard, put some RSS into your Question of the Day! It’d be so much more usable for people who pride themselves in online efficiency. You do support online efficiency, don’t you?
I couldn’t resist the annoying title. Please forgive me.
CollegeBoard doesn’t support anything good. ever.
Except for taking over the entire college admissions process and favoring those with larger wallets.
Wait, never mind.
