What RSS Feeds Do You Use?

Posted by Soulskill on from the attention-deficit dept.

oncehour writes "I'm looking to broaden my horizons in terms of news, industry information, and generally good-to-know stuff. I've found a lot of great blogs and websites over the years, but I'm wondering what Slashdotters read regularly? What's in your RSS feeds?" We discussed this back in 2004, but the list of quality feeds has grown quite a bit in the past four years. Try to include at least a minimal description, so we know if we'll be looking at NASA news or up-to-the-minute cowboy boot fashion trends.

    Let's say your favorite sites are Slashdot, Site1, Site2, and Site3. You check these sites a couple of times daily for new content, which consists of you manually visiting slashdot.org, site1.com, site2.com, and site3.com every time the mood strikes you and then scanning said sites for updates.

    With an RSS reader, you simply go to your feed reader of choice (or open your preferred program, or however you get your content - there's hundreds of options) and scan down the list - "Oh, Slashdot updated with three new stories, that one looks interesting, [click]."

    Now, say that you want to stay up to date with dozens or even hundreds of sites, and you'll see the benefit of feeds.
