Curating an rss for my parents

February 11, 2013 7:28 PM

We are web junkies, the parents are hip but have some issues adopting multi-step tech solutions, can we cut the lessons and just curate their readers? All of them are on flipboard, but rarely add new material, Is there an easy way for me to subscribe them or do I have to make additional google accounts for them and subscribe them that way? What am I not thinking of?

There are two I want to do it for, but maybe a third as well.

You might want to have them check out google current, as well, if they haven't seen it. They might find it easier to add new content than flipboard. Do they have facebook configured on flipboard?

If they're using iPads, they might like Zite, which I find easier to curate than Flipboard.

You could create a Yahoo Pipe that aggregates whatever other feeds or sources you want. Make the pipe, get its RSS URL, and add it to your parents' Flipboards. You can then add/remove feeds from the pipe whenever you want.

I came in to suggest the same solution as zsazsa.
