Stay Informed & Save Time With RSS

February 20, 2009 – By Raymond T. Hightower | Comments Off

We don’t need more information. What we really need is relevant information delivered in a timely and efficient way. Really simple syndication (RSS) fits the bill.

Managing the Explosion

RSS enables knowledge workers to sift through the explosion of information on the web without wasting time. If you need information from multiple web sites on a daily basis, you may be in the habit of visiting those sites one at a time every day. If the content hasn’t changed since the last time you visited, time is wasted.

Make Information Come to You

What if you could get information from your target sites as soon as it was updated? RSS is one answer, as described in this 4-minute video.

How to Get Started

First, get an RSS reader. The good news is that you don’t need to download one (and clutter up your machine). Navigate your browser to Google Reader and setup an account for yourself.

After that, subscribe to RSS feeds at will. All of the major news sites offer RSS feeds that will allow you to subscribe directly from their sites. Why not start with WisdomGroup’s RSS Feed?

Enjoy your increased efficiency!
