I’m a news junkie. I “need” to follow the news everyday. Because of this, the discovery of RSS (Real Simple Syndication) feeds was a godsent for me.
RSS feeds are the easiest way to stay up to date with a large number of news sites, websites and blogs. There are numerous different feed readers available, ranging from being on your desktop, your internet browser, or your mobile device. Personally, I use Google Reader on my mobile phone.
Right now, I’m subscribed to 138 different feeds (a few more a week), from humor to politics to gadgets to personal blogs to the latest in the mobile industry, which I read more or less daily.
Even though I have a quaint 5 people who are subscribed to the RSS feed of this blog, I’m obviously looking for more readers, or rather followers. If you haven’t subscribed to being up to date, DO SO NOW!
So, if you happen to read this post, what’s in your feed reader? What are you subscribed to? What are your favourite blogs or news feeds? Let me know in the comments section below this post.
If you’re not subscribed to the RSS feed of this blog (and why aren’t you already?), please do so by clicking on the “Subscribe in a reader” or enter the address http://feeds.feedburner.com/janihelle/ into your RSS reader of choice, be it Google Reader, Bloglines, Newsgator, or many of the numerous RSS feed readers available. Mashable has a great list of everything you need in the way of RSS feeds and readers.
So, what’s in YOUR feed reader?
