Thing 4 -- RSS

It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of blogs out there - how do you handle information overload and how do you think RSS might help with that?

There is so much information out there; I do feel overwelmed. I set-up a Bloglines account and my Google Reader. I'm wondering why use Bloglines when we're established in Google?

I can see how this could help organize information that I find on the web that I find interesting. Countless times, I have stumbled upon an amazing website with lots of information that I want to remember to visit again. I'm thinking that RSS can help by alerting me to updates on those sites. Am I getting this right?

  1. Yes, you are getting it right - an RSS aggregator like Bloglines or Google Reader let you know when a site you've subscribed to is updated. If you are already using Google Reader, feel free to keep using it instead of Bloglines.
