Week 4, Thing 8--RSS Feeds

RSS feeds are going to save a lot of time. It's good to have the "daily news" posted in one place, rather than having to jump all around my admittedly messy bookmark set(s). I see this also as a much more efficient use of the Internet as information source. It focuses the reader on main interest topics, and diminishing the amount of time wasted on eye-catching fluff. Sometimes that's fun--even edifying--but I've wasted a lot of time randomly reading the internet.

Having recently read a sobering piece on Google's (lack of) privacy policy (http://www.gmail-is-too-creepy.com/), I'm staying away from any Google RSS tools, and reconsidering how I use my gmail account--and yours.
