RSS Feeds: Importance in Professional and Personal Life

RSS feeds are an excellent resource to track and browse a variety of websites. Most of us have lots of web sites that we visit regularly. With RSS, you subscribe to a feed that sends you a summary of new content, with links to the updated stories. RSS keeps you current, and you're in control, since you decide what you want to see. There are also a number of useful ways you can use this tool. For one you can forward emails to RSS feeds or send feeds to social networking sites such as Twitter. You can even send RSS feeds to your phone. All of these, however have the same goal to eliminate the amount of time each of us spends perusing through various websites to track down information. RSS feeds save time for each of us, so that we can devote ourselves to spending time with family and friends and still remain up to date in our fast track society which is constantly changing and adapting.

I personally plan to use RSS to keep up on educational sites and to also follow friends and family members blogs.
