Well, I managed my quest to find a way to get RSS, and it’s integrated into Firefox too. I went back to that original Firefox plug-in page and found it had been replaced by a link to a new page – http://sage.mozdev.org. After a quick install and figuring out how to use it I was RSS’ing away.
A quick Alt+S brings up the sidebar – I have already added SitePoint.com, M_Branch Yahoo Group, Ask Yahoo, Wired, Slate, News.com, CNet Reviews, BBC News, GameSpot, MSDN and Nerd Federation.
Of course, I realise my use currently is due to the novelty factor which will inevitably die down. How much practical use I will get out of it I do not know, although I would like to think some.
The reason I got RSS was not so much for the practical use, though. I mean sure lots of websites now do RSS which I would find useful but I mainly wanted it to remain at the forefront of technology. I am a nerd after all and I think I should know about these things.
Don't have time to check my blog? Get a weekly email with all the new posts. This is my personal blog, so obviously it is 100% spam free.
