How to read more RSS feeds than you can imagine!

This comes via a collection of some of my favorite online humans (and one I know).

First, I am a frequenter on David Seah’s blog. If you’re a graphic designer, go there. If you have to manage your time for any reason, go there. If you like great food, go there. Eh, it’s David go, he’s great. David wrote a review of Timothy Ferris’s book Four Hour Work Week, which I’m finishing later tonight. It is absoloutely amazing. So just go get it. You know,, if you like lifechanging ideas and stuff like that.

So while following Timothy Ferris’s travels (and there are a LOT) he went and talked to the Scobleizer! ( Robert Scoble Writer/Prolific blogger/ techno-maestro /Mr. Plugged in).

Where’s the RSS reading tricks? (well just wait a sec, here they are!) Timothy Ferris and Robert Scoble got together and made a quick video of how Robert manages to put such massive amounts of information into his brain on a daily basis. (pssst,, keep reading for more!)

What are his tricks? Well first I say,,, watch the video, its shakey, but very effective.

The long and short of it, get Google Reader,, load it and use it.

Understand that, if you’re on the plane (or on the go) you need to be plugged in to the web, so then you’ll need a true, RSS feed reader (outlook, Feedgator, etc).

Also, learn the simpler settings and keyboard shortcuts, (j and k,, biggies,, learn,, know).

Thanks:

David Seah- buy the upcoming time management tablets,

Tim Ferris- buy the Four Hour Work Week,

Robert Scoble - Read the Scobelizer

Retarded Says:

I do the same thing with Google Homepage feeds and stuff. But I only have nine… =p

Scott Niesen Says:

An OPML file is a custom reading list of the feeds you are subscribed to. Most feed readers including Attensa will let you import and export your subscription list as an OPML file.

Here’s a series of links to feed reading best practices that you might find useful.

I had a problem that i had that many feeds i didnt know which ones to read so i created a random feed reader to put on my site… It selects a pre determined amount of feeds from an unlimited list and displays them on my website..
I even intergrated thumbnail previews into it also, and a config file.. no database required
check it out at: webmaster random rss feeds

Its got all my webmaster feeds in at the moment but if you download the script you can add your own

enjoy!!
