RSS and it’s impact on productivity.
I just read this post by Greg that describes the impact RSS has had on his productivity, it’s as if I wrote it myself so for once I will repeat it here in full!
My RSS reader saves me about 300 hours a week
The one about how using RSS opens up information to me in a way that is so reliable I could only do it this way manually if there were two of me…
Okay, so maybe it’s a little exaggerated. But seriously, I read an incredible amount of information these days. So much more than I ever did, and a lot of it on the Internet.

Research that used to take hours and hours of searching and browsing now takes just minutes. I’m consuming much, much more information and doing so in much, much less time. What I can accomplish today in the information gathering department would have taken two of me just a year or so ago, before I found the real beauty of RSS.
