Getting into RSS

I recently took the plunge and tried out some RSS readers. I like the results – instead of checking websites for news, I can now work on things and have the headlines pop up in my systray or my phone. With a quick look I can see which headlines interest me, and which do not, saving on time and bandwidth.

I have tried out several RSS readers, and my current favorites are Nick Bradbury’s FeedDemon for Windows ((in BETA), StandAlone’s HandRSS for Palm OS and Sean Gallagher’s News Spotter for Linux.

My current favorite feeds are: CNN, CNET News.com, GrokLaw, InfoWorld’s top technology news, Kuro5hin.org, National Weather Service alerts, Microsoft Watch, Slashdot, The Register, Yahoo’s Top Stories, and Wired News.
