Horray for RSS feeds!

**Although I already submitted my progress for this one part I didn't do it exactly right. I forgot that I had to post on my blog and submit that URL, so basically I will just have 2 entries in the log for this assignment**

I have had a Google Reader RSS feed account for about a year now, and I am addicted to it. I don't know how I survived so long without one before. I subscribe to approximately 30 different blogs and sites. Because I have so many feeds going at once I had to make different folders to contain them all in. I tried to organize the folders based on overarching blog/site topics and subjects. Currently I have 5 folders "Advice", "Humor", "News", "Bookish Stuff", and "Random". I try to set aside some time everyday so I can catch up with at least a few of my feeds, although a lot of the time I can't keep up with all of them. The feeds that I read just about everyday are "CNN" and a select few in the "Humor" file. I think that just about anyone can benefit from a RSS feed manager. It is an excellent resource in that it keeps all of your sites/blogs in one place and constantly updates them. Overall RSS feeds make surfing the web and keeping up with the constant flow of information much more efficient and streamline.
