RSS-Real Simple Syndication

If you don't utilize this feature you should.....it is like having a bookmark that takes you to the site but all in one reader type app or browser ...

RSS allows web sites to push out content in a standardized format commonly called a feed. This feed can be subscribed to by anyone with internet access and an appropriate tool called a feed reader.

Google Reader is a solid choice for a variety of reasons: many people already have Google accounts, it’s free, and because it’s so widely used tons of applications integrate with and import from it. If you have no idea where to start then start with Google Reader; even if you outgrow it you can easily export your feeds from Reader to another application.
If you already have a Google account, just type www.google.com/reader/ in your address bar to visit Google Reader (if you don’t, visit that link anyway and sign up for an account).
Once you have a Google Reader account you’re ready to start adding content.
At each website you wish to "grab" this content there should be a "rss feed" link and if you click that it will ask you what reader you wish to use....once implemented the "feed" will download automatically to your reader and be there for you to read whenever and wherever you are!

Give it a whirl and enjoy another feature of the great Web World!
