RRS Feed. Really Simple Syndication. I used this to surf more than 20 times per day on web everyday. You will notice RRS in my blog. What the heck is that?
BCC says:
In a world having under the weight of billion of web pages, keeping up to date with the information you want can be a pain in your butt.Disadvantage: It could waste your time by surfing on your favorite news and blog sites everyday.
Now, wouldn't it be better to have speed-reader the latest news and features delivered directly to you, rather than clicking from site to site? Yes, that what RSS can do with their service. RSS is Really Simple Syndication. It feeds out of staying up-to-date, by showing you the latest information which you are interested such as your favorite to read.
Now, as you rub above your head how can you start using RSS feeds? In general, the first thing you need is something called a news reader. There are two different ways you could use RSS feed: accessed using a web browser online OR downloadable desktop applications. All allow you to display and subscribe to the RSS feeds you want. You could look the huge numbers of news aggregator lists found in Wikipedia.
My #1 choice news aggregators I spend most of time: Bloglines, the free online news aggregator. Why is that? Because, I rather use online over desktop news aggregators, because I could get online from different location from my work, my home and my portable laptop and check the online RSS feed news aggregator everyday.
Take a look few of my RSS subscriptions in Bloglines:
Pgh_Deaf_Events at Yahoo! Groups - Subscribing email makes me annoying. I chose RSS over email, and check the updates there whenever I could.
Grant W Laird Jr Blog - A WPSD alumni, business owner web hosting: Crazy Web Hosting and he talks about his family, technologies and deaf culture.
Photos from daveynin's contacts - From Flickr. My family, friends and contacts post their new pictures in Flickr, and notify me their recent pictures coming!
Joystiq - My favorite video game blog feed. They send short and sweet paragraph about upcoming news.
Yahoo! News: Odd News - Unique, bizarre news across the world. Also I subscribe CNN.com - Offbeat.
eBay RSS Feed - Customize eBay Searches delivered by RSS feed - select your favorite categories, names and things post in RSS feed every hour.
And finally, I also have feed in my blog. You might find this on left side bar in this very blog page.
I do believe RSS is the greatest opportunity to have my time to use online news aggregator and it is now known as Information Age.
