Do You RSS?

Are you using an RSS Reader to read your favorite blogs and web sites? If not, you should be! RSS is the most efficient way to weed through hundreds (or thousands) of web articles quickly and easily. An RSS reader will allow you to take in the stories of interest to you and skip through all the clutter.
If you are new to RSS, read my article titled A Simple Guide to RSS. Have questions about RSS? Leave a comment and I’ll do my best to answer.
Here is a little bit about my RSS setup:
Reader: Google Reader
Preferred Hardware: My Apple IPOD Touch. Google has a great interface for the iTouch/iPhone!
Here is a sample of some of my favorite RSS Feeds:

Hi,
Thanks for leaving this information. Is the RSS feeder anything like a podcast in that you can hear it, or is it simply a blog you can read. I have a 2 hour trip to school and am looking to expand my memory on the iphone best I can and use playlists via what I learned in the iphone fully loaded book (I have purchased the app to have e-mails read that I also found in the book), but want something that can read info while I drive vs. my having to look at the screen. Thanks!
A typical RSS Reader does just that, allow you to read a blog (or many blogs). One alternative that I know of is Jott. Jott has a feature called “Jott Feeds” that allows you to have Jott read your favorite blog/RSS feeds to you over the phone. If you are new to Jott, see my post called “Jott.com – Mobile Note Taking”. For details on using Jott to read RSS feeds, see the Jott Blog article titled Introducing Jott Feeds.
Jott also has a video that describes how to use Jott to listen to RSS feeds here. Hope this helps!
