25 Tips to save during the holidays
by Stephanie Clifford
I'm a huge fan of Google Reader www.google.com/reader. And if you are not reading news, a blog, and/or a magazine on a daily basis using some kind of RSS feed reader, you owe it to yourself to take a few moments and check it out.
Here's the scoop on RSS. It stands for Real Simple Syndication and that is exactly what it does. It allows web publishers to easily syndicate their web content. And Google Reader makes it really easy to read that syndicated content on your computer or smartphone.
The big advantage to using Google Reader is that you can access all your favorite news sources from one single place. You start an account (it's free) and then choose all the stuff you want to read. My account aggregates a few hundred sources including the Chicago Tribune, Wired Magazine, Popular Science, The New York Times and yes, even the Organized With Blog. During my 35 minutes commute every morning I open it up on my Blackberry and start reading headlines and teasers. When I find an article I like, I click into it for more information. I can even like the article or share it friends.
Added advantages are that you are not the jerk on the train sticking your elbows into the nice people sitting next to you while reading your big newspaper. Nor are you killing trees. You are just the cool, organized, green, highly informed person with a world of news in the palm of your hand.
