anyone subscribe to a site through rss feeds?
if so let us know which ones.

so far i have,
space.com
cbc.ca
/.
site point
os news

these are so handy. i would normally go to one of these sites to check up about once a week. now i just click on my rss reader and it shows me what's new.
i just added os news after brian mentioned it in the tech forum.

real simple syndication.
it gets new info only from sites with lot's of info.
for example, cbc.ca has updates almost every 15 minutes throughout the day. so instead of searching around their site for new info, it's automatically updated in an rss feed. i have 6 different rss channels from them (world news, canada news, business news...) and my rss reader shows me if there is anything new in that channel since last i checked.

do a google search for rss readers. there are a bunch of free ones for windows, linux and pda's.
i have the sage rss extension for firefox.
