RSS and Feed Readers

I think I put this one off as long as I could, so I finally delved (I think that is the correct word) into the world of RSS and Feed Readers with the help of Maron. Thanks! (What would I do without you.)



This one was really difficult for me in that there really aren't any sites that I go to on a regular basis to necessitate the need for RSS feeds, so I had to find some that I wouldn't mind checking into. I added MSN top stories, my co-workers blogs, and the news from the Sno-Isle website. I added these feeds to my gmail account because I could not justify adding them on bloglines just because that would create another account for me to log into everyday which in my mind defeats the purpose to the feeds (I think that was a run on sentence, maybe). I figured I am already logging into my gmail account anyway so might as well put them there to save time.



I could see that RSS feeds would benefit someone who checks sites regularly to save time. It would automatically let that person see the latest and greatest things on the site without having to waste time logging onto that site especially if there are many different sites that person checks into on a regular basis. So, in "short" I can definitely see the advantage to RSS feeds.
