Just discovered the power of RSS

[ade234uk]

Since I look at a lot of websites every morning and peoples twitter feeds I thought there must be an easier way.

I wondered if there was something that could display everything in one place for me.

After some searching, I installed a package called Liferea. Got to say its brilliant.

I have since added my fav Twitter feeds to it, and also found the RSS feeds for the sites I look at the most.

I now have everything in one place. I never really got RSS, but I see why now.

It can also be found in the software centre. Just search for liferea

I am a RSS newbie myself... But I have always wondered what everyone was carrying on about :p

Will give it a whirl myself :)

i find google reader to be the most convenient, since you can access it from any machine. cant remember when i started using it. ive never liked the whole twitter thing - i think a lot of twitter content would be much more useful in an rss format

RSS is very convenient, I love it. Liferea is good but just a bit too slow.

I use iGoogle as my home page and populate it almost exclusively with RSS feeds:

I have multiple pages that contain feeds that don't update as often on various options (Linux, web comics, etc). Lots of times when you click RSS links they open in Feedburner and then it's one click to add to iGoogle or Google Reader.
