Thing 9 - RSS and Newsreaders

Advantage: One stop shopping to read the updates to those sites you're interested in and go to regularly

Disadvantages: Having to register for yet another online service, having to remember yet another user name and password, and feeling forced to read everything that is sent!

There are only two sites I go to with any regularity and I like browsing them at my leisure. I'm not as interested in quickly reading the "new" news, but enjoy perusing them as I have the time and interest. It doesn't concern me if I miss the latest and greatest info that's been posted. So having said all that, I'm not sure RSS and newsreaders are things I would use very often. I do see where it could be useful in a profession where having frequent, up-to-date information is critical.
