Blaze Through All Your Favorite Reads

Background

RSS (for Really Simple Syndication) has been around for many years now, but few people seem to  understand how to use it and what it can do.  The now defunct Google Reader, iGoogle  and Feed Burner were probably the most widely known attempts to make it easy to aggregate feeds and content by putting a pretty face on RSS.  RSS is a style independent way of presenting content from sites that publish articles/stories from a content management system.

Feedly

In a nutshell, Feedly let's you blaze through the latest content from dozens of sites featuring RSS feeds in a very short amount of time.  Rather than visiting sites one by one to see if anything new has been posted, feedly lets you see all you want in a single, simple interface.  You can save articles for later, share via social media and take advantage of different view options to customize your reading experience.  Once you sign up, you can add your own sources or choose from Feedly's curated lists.  Whenever you visit Feedly after that, you will see all the new stuff posted from your favorite sites IN ONE PLACE!

Feedly integrates with a bunch of social media and other services, making it super easy to share stories you like directly from the Feedly interface.

Here is a brief tutorial with some good tips for using Feedly.  Give it a try, I think you will find it saves a lot of time and exposes you to some great content that you may not otherwise see.
