A short word on RSS


RSS is one of those technical things which sounds frightening, but will ultimately change the way you use the internet.

I'm going to quote Seth Godin's explanation as it's one of the neatest I've seen:

"EXPLAINED:
RSS is just a little peep, a signal, a ping that comes from a favorite blog or site, telling your computer that it has been updated. If you have an RSS reader (and they're free and easy, and two of the easiest live on the web so you don't even have to install anything), whenever a blog is updated, it shows up in your reader and you can catch up on the news. If there's nothing new, it doesn't show up and you don't have to waste time surfing around."

Bottom line - you don't need to keep coming back here to check for updates, because the updates will come to you.

To subscribe to this blog's feed take a look on the left hand side of this blog - click on the My Yahoo link and you'll be taken to your Yahoo page where this blog will be automatically added.

I personally use Bloglines to follow my favourite websites, and highly recommend it. It lets me quickly track around 100 of my favourite sites without having to spend that time surfing around (which would clearly cut into time that could be spent playing games)
