Lots of buzz today about RSS (dying or\u00a0not dying<\/a>). If you’re not using it, can I strongly suggest you\u00a0give it a try<\/a>? I use\u00a0Newsfire<\/a>. Not sure the particular readers matters, though. Here’s what you need to know:<\/p>\n\t

1. It’s not particularly difficult to keep up with 200 blogs you care about in less than hour using an RSS reader.<\/p>\n\t

2. RSS provides home delivery. Instead of remembering where to click, or waiting for a post to get all buzzy and hot, the good stuff comes to you. Automatically and free.<\/p>\n\t

3. Subscribing to a blog is easy. Just click\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0for my blog, for example. In Newsfire, you can paste the URL of any blog and it automatically finds the RSS feed for you.<\/p>\n\t

RSS is quiet and fast and professional and largely hype-free. Perhaps that’s why it’s not the flavor of the day.<\/p>Seth Godin<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
