Reading RSS feeds
I've been reading RSS feeds for several years. I think that most people, probably 90% of people who use the Internet, still don't know what RSS feeds are used for. They are a way to keep track of websites that change frequently without having to go visit them all the time. This is done with a news aggregator.
There are a lot of competing services for aggregating your RSS feeds and I've experimented with most of them over time and have finally decided that Google's works best for me. I've used Newsgator, Bloglines, and Yahoo at one time or another and none of them have the features or ease-of-use that the Google Reader offers.
So if you have been seeing RSS feed logos
on web pages, particularly blogs, go ahead and sign up for Google Reader and start reading your web sites through an RSS feed and you'll never go back to the old way again.
