I use Google Reader to bring in all of my RSS feeds which consist of different blogs, newspapers, and other resources. This is one tool that I do use daily and it sure beats having to go out rechecking websites for updates. At Will Richardson’s workshop that I attended at METC, Will described how to add news searches and blog searches into your Google Reader as feeds. If you have a news topic that you are interested in, go to news.google.com and type it in. After it brings up its results, you can then subscribe to it as an RSS feed. You can also do the same with topics that would be mentioned in blogs. Go to blogsearch.google.com, type in your topic, and subscribe. Easy way to have Google searching the vast world of the web looking for topics and news that you are interested in.
