I dont really like the idea of RSS - i dont know anyone who uses it. It kind of feels like subscribing to an overload of information, even though you choose relevant feeds, i reckon you would still have to sort through the feeds for relevant information, and it's still just another thing added to the list of things to be reading and getting through each day.
If i want to find information on a certain topic, i would just prefer to search for it at the time when i will most likely have some free time to be doing so.
On the other hand, i do see how it could be a good way to kind of make yourself stay current on certain subjects, which is a good thing.
I guess maybe this is just me becoming aware of how lazy i can be...
I used Google Reader for this task. It was a little confusing for me, but i got the idea.
Google provides a lot of 'recommended items' when you first go into the reader, which kind of confused me, and I wasnt really sure how to actually subscribe to anything from the recommended items. But it looks like you have to click into the item (blog, site, etc) and subscribe from there, or copy the URL and paste using the 'add a subscription' button at the top right corner of the Google Reader page.
Found out what 'sharing' is. Like i said before, i dont know anyone that uses RSS so this would be useless for me.
I think i will try this out though, i have just bought an android phone, so i am becoming more Google orientated, and this may make RSS more convenient for me to use...
