The lazy man’s way to surf.

Last December, my wife and I spent Christmas in Florida. I remember sitting by the pool, comfortable and relaxed, reading a new book. We decided to get a couple drinks and I had two choices–get up and order the drinks from the bar across the pool complex or order them poolside. I took the poolside option. It didn’t cost me any more and the drinks came to me.

Simply put, you subscribe to a web site via their RSS feed. That feed goes to your reader (I use Google Reader). Your RSS reader checks your subscribed feeds regularly for new content and downloads any updates that it finds to your reader. That’s it. You then peruse your reader and read in the stories our interested in.

I moved all my favorite sites over to RRS feeds last year and I would never go back to the “old way”. My kids’ schools even provide an RSS feed for updates on events and schedule changes.
