Subscribe to your favorite blogs!! Have their posts come to you. You can even create Google Alerts to have new websites, news, and blog posts e-mailed to you … Thousands of professionals are on my e-mail list.

And I have a over a thousand on my RSS feed subscription… they know the value of a RSS reader. They want to be on top of the blogosphere … but know that their time is too valuable to go a-hunting. RSS feeds force the news & blog posts come to you.

See the word SUBSCRIBE on the right-hand side? Or the orange icon next to the world RSS in the upper right-hand corner? And all those tiny icons on the right hand side of my blog? They all do one thing… it’s going to be the newspaper of the future! get hip to it… Wonder what that RSS stuff is all about?
