I have to admit I've avoided being curious about RSS and Newsreaders...I read all dang day why would I need to add RSS and Newsreaders to the mix. Well, now that I've "schooled" myself and realize that RSS and Newsreaders organize your 411 and put what you want where you want to read it. I went with iGoogle and honestly, had no clue it existed. It nicely grabs more info than you can shake a stick at. The "feeds" I grabbed were "The Onion" - and "Found Magazine" - www.foundmagazine.com - it's a site that posts items people have randomly found.
Now grabbing the VHS 23 Things blog was another matter, I won't admit how long it took me to figure that out...I'm embarrassed....but I did it.
Now to topix.net and syndic8.com. topix.net was much easier for me to search and actually look at. syndic8.com completely turned me off just reminded me of "code" - though the searches turned up more specific info. Both sites gave me random results. Probably will not be going back to visit.

uh-oh. I'm supposed to help someone load the 23 things feed into their iGoogle. Perhaps I should come see you beforehand, so I know exactly what to do! Glad you dipped your toes into the RSS pool.
nah...it's a matter of actually "reading" a concept I frequently forget
