RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and it is a simple, standardized content distribution method that can help you stay up-to-date with your favorite newscasts, blogs, websites, and social media channels. Instead of visiting sites to find new posts or subscribing to sites to receive notification of new posts, find the RSS feed on a website and read new posts in an RSS reader.

Do you use RSS to curate your own information feed? Looking to expand my sources to include different perspectives and new interesting topics and would love any suggestions.

    Before hosting my own FreshRSS instance I used TheOldReader (and Google Reader before that). It’s a great way of focusing you’re attention and keep track of sites. It does hurt them though, since it won’t load their ads.

      On the other hand, if you also use adblocker, RSS hurts them less by being more efficient on their servers.
