You go to a shoe store to get shoes. You go to a lingerie store to get your underoos. You go to a jewelry store to get your shinies and you go to a fashionable dress shoppe to get something to go with all these other purchases (right). Or you could go to a large department store and get everything you need in one place. Sounds like a dream! Well, if you effectively use your RSS tools, you could be living this dream ONLINE!
RSS - Really Simple Syndication - is one of the most useful features developed for the Internet. It's so much fun to get sucked into reading a million blogs and websites, but it's so much work to go to every site just to see the one update they posted that day - or worse, to find that you've read that "update" yesterday. And then what if you forget one of the million web addresses and end up missing an update?? *Sad face* When you set up an RSS aggregator, you are automatically updated by the minute on your favorite blogs etc. The most convenient RSS aggregator for me is the Google Reader. Since I'm already set up with a Google account, it's super easy to just change tabs from email to Google Reader and read through my updates. As with most other features on Google, the Reader is easy to set up and it's easy to add feeds. There are other RSS aggregators out there, though. You can Google "RSS feeds" and see them all. But since you're already opening Google.com, why not just sign up for a Google account and start your RSS aggregator there? :)
