Method 4
If you spend a lot of time on the Internet getting caught up on news, going to favorite websites, and reading blogs, you'll want to subscribe to an aggregator, such a Google Reader. I have used Bloglines for several months and find it saves me a great deal of time. I enjoyed viewing the video "RSS in Plain English" because I thought it spelled everything out really well for a beginner and might be useful with teachers in my school.
For this exervise, I set up a second account in Google Reader and subscribed to three book blogs/sites: Books -The New York Times; The Online Books Page; and NPR's Book Reviews, Book News, and Author Interviews.
Of the two RSS Readers, I prefer Bloglines for its layout and ease of us.
