Answer to Question 1

TRUE
Businesses using a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) are not dependent on e-mail for relaying
information and do not have to rely on the fact that people will visit their sites. A special
application is used to subscribe to and read feeds, which are automatically updated with new
articles.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
Tweets are by definition asynchronous, but the conversation they form could be considered
somewhat synchronous. Some of the power of Twitter comes when everyone is discussing a
similar topic at the same time, creating what appears to be a conversation about the topic.
