RSS and Feeds

 So what is a feed? Feeds are a way for websites to deliver their updates to you.  You can subscribe to Facebook, Twitter, Blog, and website feeds.  Just look for the feed symbol, and once you select it you will receive an address to paste into your reader.  There are online reader services like;

Google Reader

News Gator

Bloglines

Pageflakes

Netvibes

For Mac Users

Netnewswireapp

Newsfirerss

Cyndicate

I love using my Google Reader.  I subscribe to multiple Blogs, Twitter & Facebook accounts, Websites, & more.  It would be extremely inefficient of me to visit all of these sites multiple times a day to read the updates.  Now the updates come to me.  I also create alerts where I tell the reader some keywords I am looking for.  When the reader finds these keywords it sends an update to the reader.

I suggest exploring these tools and begin using the reader that best suits you.
