The RSS reader is awesome. One of the things that keeps me from reading blogs and surfing the net in general is the time that it consumes. Being able to go to one site to read all your updates is such a time saver, and for me, keeps me focused on the things I need, or want, to stay current on. On a personal level, I can stay updated on my own interests/hobbies, but as a teacher, I can see using RSS feeds to stay current on useful technologies long after I complete this class.
In adding an additional item to this post, I would like to share that as always, my frustration with learning these new technologies is always high when I start. And the cure to this frustration? More learning. Seems simple enough, but I was becoming frustrated every time I searched for the RSS icon and didn't find one, site after site after site. But then, after exploring the right mouse button on my PC, I found "View Page Info", and on some of these sites there was the logo. No more searching all over the website for the logo. Nice...wish I had found that a couple days ago...or even a couple hours ago for thing 11.
