I've never really used RSS feeds before. I didn't really know what it was and didn't really know how to start using them.
I then discovered that I've been using something very much like RSS feeds for a long time by using iGoogle. In iGoogle I've chosen a number of news sites that I would like to get news from and they each get a box on my iGoogle page in which the 3 latest news appears.
A good idea then to get news from minor sites that doesn't have that many news is to use RSS feeds. I'm using google reader and a little widget(add-on) to my iGoogle which makes a box on my iGoogle page in which my feeds now appear.
In addition to making this blog I've also subscribed to a number of people I would like to follow. It so happens that I can also use google reader to see blog posts from the people I'm following. So now I've got all my news on my iGoogle page, which of course is my homepage, and I'm starting to see the real potential to RSS feeds although I would advice using it together with iGoogle.
