A recent inquiry to Lab Badger regarded updates, and how to be notified when the CMB CMB (CMB^2? 2XCMB?) is updated.
As a general note, the CMB ProDev committee will try to update this blog at least monthly, particularly with news regarding any upcoming seminars and other events. For these events, we will probably include a link to the specific post in any notifying emails.
However, there are many ways to keep up with blogs (and various other online publications).
>bookmark it or save a link to the site and check your bookmarks frequently. Like, you know, while you're taking a 5 minute break from research to check your favorite webcomics (PhD Comics, XKCD.com, Dinosaur comics, etc).
>RSS feeds. In brief, these are usually an online listing of websites, specified by the user, that is updated as the websites update. These will either notify the user (via email or mobile device), or just list sites that have recently updated for the user to then follow up on their own.
Google Reader seems to be the most common/popular out of the 5-ish people surveyed, but is (unfortunately) being retired as of July 1st. Another commonly used free RSS feed is feedly , and CMBer Bob mentioned that he uses the flipboard app on his mobile device.
Does anyone else have a particular RSS feed they like to use, or another way of keeping up with online publications?
