Change can be hard. Maybe, for instance, you committed to an RSS Reader early on and then decided to switch to a different RSS Reader later on. I'm not here to judge — just to guide.

Do you want to follow someone's updates on Twitter, but don't necessarily want them to see that you're following them? Or maybe you're reluctant to join Twitter, but still would like to see what someone is tweeting. You can actually add someone's Twitter feed to your RSS reader.

Do you ever miss one of your favorite shows, or worse yet (this happens to me quite often), forget to set your DVR for a series recording of certain shows? Thankfully there's this new tool called mytvrss that will create a personalized RSS feed of all your fave shows that you can't bear to miss! Just go to the site, click on the shows you want in the feed and mytvrss will alert you through the feed the day an episode is aired!

Even the most voracious of readers have a hard time keeping up with everything we want to read on the Internet. I know that with the hundreds of feeds I subscribe to, I couldn't get through everything if I tried.
With Lazy Feed, you don't have to sort through everything — instead, everything comes to you, but only if you want it!

Apartment hunting is a necessary evil. It's not fun, but you can't fake it either — unless you actually like crashing with your parents. Short of throwing money at a broker, there aren't too many secrets to apartment hunting; you've just got to search the local papers, classifieds, and online agency listings, cruise the neighborhoods you like for signs, and of course, scour Craigslist in depth.

The web moves fast. In fact, they say one day, it might even move faster than the speed of light. There are millions of articles being published, photos being uploaded, status updates being posted and tweets being tweeted every single day.

Sure, following Tweets secretly through your RSS allows a special, stalkerish pleasure, but watching your friend's Internet activity doesn't have to be all about surreptitiousness. When a pal shares a link to her Flickr account or I run across a photographer whose work I find inspiring I stick it in my RSS reader so I can keep up with their activity.
Flickr offers an RSS feed for photostream pages, which you select and add to your reader.

As much as I like to think I know what the buzz is on the net everyday, it's virtually impossible to always know what's hot and what's not. That's why I rely on BuzzFeed, a NY-based site that posts 10 "Buzz Detected" topics per day, so you don't get bombarded with content.
With a clean, fresh layout and categories ranging from science and celebrity to food and tech, you're guaranteed to find the most talked about stories on the net at any given moment.

While most of us jot down our New Year's resolutions in low tech notebooks and organizers there are billions of helpful websites and handy tech tips that can help us reach our goals.
If you spend your whole day in front of a computer or carry a PDA in your pocket or purse (meaning you have constant web and calendar access) you really don't have an excuse to be disorganized.

I'm sure you're probably like me when it comes to RSS readers — as long as it does what it's supposed to do, who cares what it looks like, right?! Well at least that's what I thought until I came across Times by Acrylic, a chic new newsreader for Mac OS X Leopard users.
I know, we all get stuck in our RSS reader ways, but think about how cool it would be to make your entire reader look like a newspaper, with various sections and categories so you can easily read your feeds.
