Get More Cash - How to Feed Your Mind

Then skip this article and go do something else, if you read most of your daily news over feed readers or RSS aggregators.

So it's stale news by the time you read it, you have to keep in mind that newspapers provide readers with news that are a day or at best a couple of hours late, think again, if you think that reading newspapers is the best way to get news. Is because of how great I personally think this way of keeping your self on top of thing is, the reason why I am writing about RSS feeds.

And time, paper, simply because it's a waste of ink, now most publications provide their own take and opinions on those news articles instead of running the headlines. Simply because their readers know about the news before the publication hits the news stands, removing the news sections, some magazine publications have shrank there copy sizes dramatically, in the US.

I have just read this in the newspaper", "you're right, a day or two later they call me up telling me, i would surprise anyone when I start talking about the latest tech news, and people tend to get a shock to see how updated I am when it comes to the latest news, i have been using feed aggregators for years now.

Now let's focus on RSS, but I will address both on a later article. And how much fun and informative they became, or listening to podcasts, take blogs and the way they have evolved, ways we never even dreamt of, you see man-kind is advancing in numerous ways.

And how is it different from Ezines or emailed newsletters? But what makes RSS unique, it has a lot of meanings but simply it's information that come to you upon subscription, well that's one definition, rSS means Real Simple Syndicate?

And much more fun, and now getting informed is easier, you see technology has advanced a great deal, or at least shouldn't do that any more, no one does that any more, now this is old fashion, till we get fed up with there inbox-presence and decide to read them over the weekend, so we tend to pile them up in our inbox, we would waste hours going through heaps of information, because they are too long to read, and to be honest we tend to ignore them at times, ezines and newsletters are both delivered to your email account.

And this is especially true these days, time is money, instead of having to read the whole thing, so that you can read a summary of the news, you can select the length of the news feed, once you subscribe to a feed the site will send the latest news to your aggregator software, you get the news to your aggregator of feed catcher software, or typing a URL and going to a news website, the major difference is the fact that instead of reading news off your email inbox, enter RSS or news feeds.

And refresh to update your feeds with new news, the aggregator will remove them, after going through them, it will grab all the latest unread feeds on that news site, you fire-up your aggregator, let's say you subscribed to a news site.

Aggregators fall under four major types, but to round them up, there are the free ones all over the net and of course there is the paid subscriptions, well aggregators come in different types and forms, what can be better then that, and you got what you wanted thanks to XML technology, no time wasted.

Online aggregators:

And Newsgator, my personal favorites are Bloglines, they work efficiently, most of these aggregators are free to subscribe to, or even an online aggregator, the new Yahoo home-page, digg, flickr, you get online software like Gmail, thanks to the advancement of what is known as Web 2.0.

Aggregator Notifiers:

To check on new feeds, you can download them after joining an online aggregator and they will sync with the aggregator's server, they will notify you with a popup with whatever news hits your subscription, these are small simple softwares that you download to your machine.

Browser built-in aggregators:

And also you can find it on the upcoming Internet Explorer 7.0 (you can download the IE 7 Beta 3 for now), on all major OS platforms, you can also find it on Firefox, which comes with Mac OS X Tiger, you can find these in free browsers like Apple's Safari 2.0.

Aggregator Software:

But to use anyone of these you have to pay an annual subscription, and FeedDemon on Windows, but the best would be NetNewsWire for the Mac platform, there are a lot of those, these are designated software where its only job is to grab news feeds for you.

What you should do next:

I recommend that you try a free online subscription to see how useful this technology is before paying an annual subscription and downloading an RSS reader. And sufficient, easy, simple. That's it, after doing this step you should pick the news feeds you want to subscribe to and choose them, and subscribe to one of them, now you should go to one of the available aggregators.

Stay informed 24/7 and Enjoy!
