Woody Allen meets Billy Graham

Friday, May 25th, 2007

Who are the people that have this footage on tape to upload it to Youtube in the first place? Just search on Eurovision it’s crazy. Well Woody meets Billy, it’s fluffy stuff but you can see a mutual respect. I’m not sure you get something like this on Television today. I can’t imagine Ricky Gervais sitting down with Rob Bell, though I’m sure Rob would enjoy it.

Those involved in the Foolish Network are complete internet junkies and there are many ways to making it easy to feed the addiction. Many sites today are taking the form of blogs or using technology that has been inspired by them. One of these that is becoming increasingly popular and we would encourage you to use is RSS (Real Simple Syndication). Imagine there are a few sites you like and they write some good articles but you don’t want to have to visit each site to see if it’s updated, well RSS can help to solve your problem. RSS Feed or Live Bookmarks simply update as new content is added so that when you go through your bookmarks you can you see whether there is new content without visiting the site, this can save you a lot of time. Each browser deals with RSS in a slightly different way and you can download add-ons, extensions or plugins to help use RSS more effectively.

The most used browser is Microsoft’s Internet Explorer but Mozilla Firefox is becoming more popular by the day. Flock has lots of fun add-on’s for Flickr, Wordpress and Facebook. OSX users obviously have Safari and Camino.

Here are some explanational videos on how to use RSS Feeds in Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari, once you’ve learnt you can practice by subscribing to our RSS feed - wink, wink.
