CPL 2.0 RSS R US

So, something new this week. I had no awareness of Really Simple Syndication, and was a bit curious to try it out. Setting up a Bloglines account and a few feeds from there suggestions was pretty quick and straight forward. Adding a feed of my own choosing met with a small snag. My first choice was CBC Calgary, but I could not get it to go through. When I tried adding another feed, a blog I sometimes follow, it went through and was added to my list without any problem.

I think using an RSS reader could be very useful for someone wanting to check in on several blogs and websites on a daily basis. You could read any new posts from various sources at one site. For me personally, I do not check a lots of sites on a daily basis. I check a couple, I list them all under Favorites, and I go into each individually, when I'm in the mood. Not the most efficient method, but so far it's working O.K. for me.
