March 31, 2008Tired of trying to remember all of your favorite blogs, news and websites?
Tired of having to go to each one every day or two to see if there is something new posted?
Set yourself up with a free ‘RSS Reader’ and instead of you having to go to each of your blogs and websites, instead they will send their new content to your reader. Then all you have to do is check your reader each day to see what is new on all of your favorite sites.
Simple, efficient, fast and EASY!
I use and love Google Reader (they even have a blog on how to use their reader more efficiently) however there are several out there. (NewsGator Online, Rojo.com , Bloglines, etc ) The Readers constantly check your favorite news sites and blogs for new content then aggregate them in one place for you to peruse at your leisure.

Horaayy..there are 3 comment(s) for me so far ;)
RSS has changed my ‘work flow’ and reading habits for the better. I still enjoy going directly to the site, but it is nice to use RSS Feed to keep up on a variety of sites in one location.
One of my favorite features about Google Reader is the Google Reader Trends feature. I wrote an article to help give an idea how one can maximize the Trends to their advantage, titled, “Gain Insight Into Your Feed Reading Habits With Google Reader Trends”.
I use Sage reader which is part of my firefox browser.
I also use del.icio.us for the occasional article I want to save.
Mark’s article on Google Reader Trends is very informative & also written in plain English. Once you have Google Reader, I recommend you go & read his article!
