I choose to run my subscriptions through Google Reader because I already had a gmail account. The feeds I subscribed to were easy to set up. I especially like getting the StephensLighthouse feed but I don't like that the portions you read fall off. I end up going directly to the site to more easily look back to prior entries. Is there a way to do this through the actual feed?
I think it will take me awhile to begin using RSS feeds to their full advantage but I definitely see how they could help me to stay current both personally and professionally. I am taking this course in great part because I feel technology is racing ahead and I've been left in the dust wondering how and when this happened. Hopefully RSS feeds from tech sites will keep me abreast of new developements. I was disappointed that some of my favorite sites don't yet have feeds.
I found additional feeds to add to my reader by following staff recommendation on the Google Reader site. Some were worth adding - others not at all. I choose to do this 'Thing' because it is next on the list and I have every intention of completing all 16 'Things'! I would say I spent a total of 2 hours on Thing 3 - mostly because I got caught up with reading so many of the feeds.

RSS feeds are a great way to get started using Web 2.0. It is probably my favorite thing. To read your feeds full screen click on the little blue arrow that appears in the middle of your screen. To return to your list click on it again. Hope this answers your question.
