Managing Online Information Via Subscription

In the last couple of years I have had the opportunity to do technology presentations at various automotive/educational conferences. I often do a presentation titled “Mastering Online Information”. The Internet has grown to the point that we can’t effectively find and manage information just using the Google search feature we have to work smarter!

While there are many options (remember, I can easily turn this into a three hour presentation), in this post I want to cover managing information via a subscription. Often you will have certain web sites, blogs, or news searches that you want to closely monitor. This is when you need to utilize an RSS feed to push information to you automatically. As long as the site you want to monitor publishes an RSS feed all you need is a feed reader (officially called a news feed aggregater). I found a neat video that does a good job of explaining how RSS works, yet uses a simple explanation.

This site offers RSS feeds. If you want to keep up with new information on this site, be tech smart and use them.
