If you’ve read the two previous articles and are still curious and/or are interested in having RSS feeds coming to your desktop then you’re in for a treat today.
You must know by now that there is so much more information available on the internet than any one, or group, of persons can track or follow thoroughly. So, scanning for key information becomes necessary. That’s what your RSS Reader allows you to do with a click of the mouse! You set up your RSS Reader to send you information based on certain subjects, areas of interest or on certain key words that you add to a list. Or, you can add the “RSS Feeds” from websites or blogs that you WANT to follow but just don’t have time to check on each day.
There are a number of RSS Readers to choose from and I’m not into recommending any specific Reader to you… but after looking for what might be the easiest RSS Reader for you to recommend to YOUR followers… I decided to give a nod to the NewsGator reader. You can get a free download HERE
Just sign up and choose the information sources you want to be kept updated on. You can also add keywords and RSS Feeds easily.
For those of you who may already be using OTHER readers… congratulations on being ahead of those of us who are just learning! There are a HUGE number of internet users in the “over 50” crowd and we did NOT grow up with this as an every day part of our life and we’re largely in a “catching up” mode of operation… but we’ll get there!
Thanks for reading and make sure to drop a line if you have questions that are not answered here and you need help getting going!
