RSS feeds

RSS feeds are nice to have if you visit mulitple sites. RSS feeds allow you to view content from multiple sources in one location, thus saving time. It is easy to add channels and the updates are automatic. I prefer the Google Reader to do this. I have tried Bloglines and do not care for the interface.
