Increase Your Information Consuption & Save Time with RSS

Kasia GrabowskaDo you ever wish there were just a few more hours in the day so you can get more things done?

Are you constantly looking for more efficient ways of doing things?

Time is precious. That’s why I love anything that can help me save a few minutes each day. And one technology in particular has proven to save time and help me be more efficient and productive.

What I’m talking about is RSS, and although I’ve only been using it for a year, I don’t think I could ever do without it.

If you’re not using RSS you should be … here’s why:


  • RSS Saves You Time


    Instead of bookmarking your favorite sites and then coming back to them to check for new content, the content is send directly to you as soon as it becomes available. All you have to do is subscribe to the site’s RSS feed.


    You’re also eliminating the time you would spend going to a site that doesn’t update on a regular basis by seeing the same information multiple times.


    With RSS, you get to tell your favorite sites to send you their updates as soon as they’re available and you get to read the ones you choose at your own convenience.

  • RSS Helps You Increase Your Information Consumption


    While you’re saving time you’re also increasing your information consumption because you get notified every time the site is updated.


    This way you’re on top of all of the latest news, and you don’t even have to go out to look for it. All you have to do is read it at your own convenience and you never miss a thing.

  • RSS Eliminates Spam


    With RSS you’re not giving your email address to anyone. So the website you’re subscribing to doesn’t have access to your email address — they can’t send you anything you don’t want and can’t give your email address to anyone.


    This means no more spam. All you get is clean content from your favorite sites!

  • RSS is Easy!


    It really is. Subscribing — and unsubscribing — is as easy as a click of the button. You don’t have to contact anyone to be put on or taken off a list, all you do is click.

RSS Awareness Day

Today is RSS awareness day … a day to spread the word about the benefits of RSS. Now that you know what they are, go ahead, try it! And see for yourself.
