RSS (Numero Cuatro)

When I open my browser, I expect to engage in an exploration of the Internet, why else would I use the Safari browser?

My routine is always the same, I work through my bookmarks from left to right. First I check gmail, then I open Pandora, from there I digest all of the worthless knowledge possible regarding the University of Michigan's athletic department. I cannot even begin to put a number on how many times a day I go through this routine, many times to find that no new content has been uploaded.

Could the RSS feed revolutionize the way I explore the Internet? There is a distinct possibility. It would be nice to have information come directly to me, rather than me find it. However, I am skeptical that I will convert. I prefer reading the articles in the format that the blogger/website intended, rather than how they appear on Reader and Bloglines. While it is possible to follow the link to the site, I do not know that this would necessarily save me loads of time. I will try it out... for now I will stick with Reader because the last thing I need is another site to check!
