Neil P Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 This topic is a continuation of the original pinned topic of the same name, found here: http://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.php?showtopic=10170 Since there's been no new posts in that thread since 2005, however, I decided to start the thread over.Some highlights from the last thread:Feed readers:Sage, an add-on to Firefox.Feeds:Gizmodo -- Gizmodo is an online review dedicated to gadgets, gizmos, and cutting-edge consumer electronics. Endadget -- Engadget is a web magazine with obsessive daily coverage of everything new in gadgets and consumer electronics. A List Apart -- Web design news, info, and insights since 1995. CSS layout, XHTML, usability, accessibility. Designing with web standardsArs Technica -- The PC Enthusiast's Resource -- U.S. Consumer Product Product Safety Commission's recall RSS news feed. -- The Food and Drug Administration's recall RSS feed.And that's about all from the last thread. Not that I copied all the ones posted there--I didn't. There are still a bunch more to see there! But I figured we can post new ones here. Syndication is almost guaranteed these days, you can probably find an RSS feed for any site you want. I'm pretty sure most/all blog software now just generates a feed automatically, unless you explicitly say not to.As for what I use, personally I just go with Google Reader, available for free at reader.google.com. It works well enough for me, and it will, I'm sure, soon integrate with G+. So, what do you all use RSS for? Which sites do you follow?

Corrine Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Based on who I follow in Twitter, I depend less on RSS than I used to. I still have some favs I track via RSS though. A few of the Microsoft feeds I subscribed to: Most Recent KBs for Windows 7 Microsoft Security Content: Comprehensive Edition Top Windows Client Solutions for Home Users from Microsoft Support Microsoft Fix it BLOG Security Tips & Talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
