Using RSS to keep up with current affairs

This is a nice non-tech explanation of what RSS is and what it is good for.

I like the way the author describes the benefits of RSS without getting all complicated:

Trying to find what's new, however, used to be a tedious process, which involved visiting dozens of Web sites and trying to remember which stories I'd read and when. Then RSS news syndication and aggregation entered my life. This complicated set of words describing an Internet publishing method boils down to a simple concept: Web sites publish the latest updates to a formatted file on their Web site, and you use software that automatically checks that file, notifying you of any changes.
