RSS and News Feeds

Challenge: keeping up with all the internet information news updates that I would like to follow
Solution: subscribe to sites of interest and manage the subscriptions with on a feed aggregator such as Google Reader.


Since the 23 Things training was developed, RSS and newsfeeds have come a long way. In 2004, CNET was reviewing applications that you installed on your computer to subscribe to newsfeeds. Today, you can create an account on the web to track your feeds and the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Firefox allow you to subscribe to newsfeeds without any additional software.  You'll find instructions for using RSS feeds with Internet Explorer's on Microsoft's website.   Google Reader is another option for maintaining a list of feeds.
