I am currently subscribed to a little more than 100 RSS feeds in my news aggregator. No matter how many new articles there are, I can usually scan all of these for the articles that I’m interested in reading in about 15 minutes. My subscriptions are broken down into categories like “Chicago,” “Gadgets” and “Photography,” as well as one of my biggest categories: “Work.”
My “Work” category includes feeds from sites like High End Systems, PLSN, Nook’s blog “Visual Ventures” www.plsn.com/visual-ventures, Tony’s blog “The Notebook” www.plsn.com/notebook and Swami Candela’s blog “Light Line” www.plsn.com/swami. Since my feed reader checks these sites regularly, I get all of the breaking news (Wow! Did you know that Doug Fleenor Designs just bought Radio Shack?! It’s a match made in heaven.) as it happens, not a month later.
And all of this is just as easy as checking my e-mail.
