RSS Feeds

RSS can be a wonderful thing to keep up with the times (and the Post and the Boston Herald!) quickly and without pressure. The trick is the no pressure part, so when you miss reading your bloglines account a couple of days, don't feel like you need to read the 200 posts from CNN. I have CNN in my account and they often post the same story several times during the day. It can get overwhelming.

The Feeds are great ways to scan upcoming news though, particularly if you are choosy in what you are feeding. I limit mine to no more than 5 or 6 at a time, and I"m quick to delete them if I find I'm not reading a lot of the posts or if they get overwhelming.
