I just finished setting up six RSS feeds. It's funny...even though RSS is supposed to be a time-saver, it's never appealed to me. Maybe it's the reference librarian in me, but I enjoy hunting and pecking my way to my favorite websites first thing each morning. (Actually, I do bookmark favorite sites, but that's as far as I go to making my life easier.)
Part of my hesitation stems from the fact that I'm seldom looking for news per se. When I visit my favorite sites (e.g. The New York Times), it's usually to read book or movie reviews, not to check out the latest happenings in Pakistan. Maybe "news" from RSS feeds is whatever has been added most recently, whether it's newsworthy or not.
If I like the RSS feed experience at work, I may take a small leap into the 21st century and start utilizing it at home.
