Home Automation via RSS PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 24 February 2007

Although they've been around for years, RSS Feeds are becoming more and more important to my daily absorption of information. The main reason for this is the excellent "Google Reader".

Reader is an on-line news feed aggregator that's becoming my main port of call throughout the day. Usefully there is also a mobile version of Reader which is great for mobile phones, PDAs and other portable devices. We've recently enabled the RSS feed on our Yahoo Group Mailing list, to add to our existing feed of this News page and our forums, so why not try it out with one of our feeds...

Check out the videos below for some great tips on using the keyboard shortcuts that really make Reader a superb tool...

 

This video from LifeHacker.com will give a good idea of what Reader can do.
