Holy smoke. I just discovered what a huge technophobic rock I’d been hiding under…

Because how great are RSS feeds? I was inspired to give the “scary” (read: new) technology a go after reading a post by Mindy McAdams. She said:

“There was a time when I used my own blogroll like a daily reading list, but RSS is so much more efficient.”

 And I thought: “Hmm, I’m doing the same with my blogroll and I’m incredibly time-poor… could I be missing something?” (Ah duh, I’d even written a post about RSS!!).

If, like me, you aren’t yet into RSS, give it a go. It took me about one minute to set up my first feed using Google Reader, which is amazingly similar to email and sends relevant information straight to me – heaven for a journalist!
