Information Trapping (Part 1)

In this age of information overload, how do you keep up? Do you visit a half-dozen blogs and news sites to gather your daily fix? Wouldn't it be nice to have all that stuff delivered to your front door each morning like the slap of the daily paper on your front step? Try RSS feeds.

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds allow you to 'subscribe' to your favorite sites through a reader of your choice. If you have a personal computer, an easy way to keep track is using the Feeds filter -- part the Favorites menu in IE (Internet Explorer) -- so all your favorite blogs are gathered into one list. However, if you normally use a public computer for Internet access, you might want to use a reader attached to your personal online accounts like myYahoo, iGoogle or GoogleReader.
