RSS

Do you have entirely too many bookmarks on your internet browser and check them daily but wonder what it would be like to not have so many tabs open and not have to continuously sort through them?

Here is your solution: RSS (Really Simple Syndication)

RSS is read through an RSS reader--I use Google Reader--and it can be set up to feed everything you have bookmarked on your internet browser to your reader. This way, you can narrow the amount of bookmarks you have and view the blogs, websites, and news sources you frequently read in one place!

If my description of RSS isn't cutting it, try this video: RSS in Plain English.

Create an account with an RSS reader and try it! There are many options besides Google Reader out there, including FreedDemon (Windows), Simple RSS Reader (Firefox add-on), NewsFire (Mac), and many more! Trust me, it makes life much easier for those of us who love to read, read, read!
