Thing 11: RSS in Live Action!

Chapter 11: Bankruptcy of my Free Time

Simply put, RSS feeds could be the death of me...or at least all my free time.  As I've mentioned in previous blogs, I am an ardent reader of news and all things political, so even MORE information at my fingertips is bad for my productivity!

I, personally, found all the blog-finding technology to be a bit "wonky," in the sense that I had numerous thing to choose from, but it kept descending into evermore complexity.  For some sites, I could not only subscribe to the main site, but particular issues that the site may cover.  When there is an RSS feed for "Adam Levine," on a news site, that seems a bit much. All-in-all, I'd say Technorati was the best site of the ones suggested to use. 

The other blogs I subscribed to were:

RealClearPolitics (because, of course).
ThinkProgress (your standard left-wing views)
The Blaze (your standard right-wing views)
FactCheck (kinda somewhere in the middle)

In conclusion, yet another exercise in finding excellent information which will consume even more  of my free time!
