Following your favourite news feeds – Business, teaching, research or personal interests. Starting from the beginning with using Bloglines (http://bloglines.com).

*RSS is a way to keep track of what is going on in a website without actually visiting it. If the website has RSS, you subscribe to the ‘Feed’ and can then skim the headlines and decide if there is anything you want to visit to read further. This has become popular with blogs – but feeds have existed for many years before blogs.

Feed readers have become very straightforward to use.

I’ve given this Engineering Geology Thesis a reference itype to prevent it being requested at the behest of a lecturer who doesnt want his ENGE 486 and ENNT 363 students to get at it.
