After a conversation today about the latest iPhone rumors, a coworker was recently impressed with how much I knew about the latest gadgets, rumors, and trends in technology. He asked how I kept up with it all – which is a valid questions when you think about how much information is out there. TV, radio, cell phones, the internet, laptops… there are a ton of ways to get information, but very few helpful ways to disseminate that information into comprehensible pieces.

I told my coworker about RSS and was really surprised he hadn’t heard about it before. My Google Reader (feed reader of choice) is essential to my daily routine. I even have a link to Google Reader on my iPhone so I can check it from anywhere!

So this post is my encouragement for anyone and everyone out there to start using a feed reader to help you keep up-to-date with what interests you. You want to keep up-to-date with politics? Subscribe to your favorite political blog or even CNN’s political news feed.

You prefer to keep up to date with iPhone rumors? There are plenty of blogs that you can follow with only a click or two.

So, to help you get started with Google Reader be sure to check out Andy Wibbels’ How-to Video. But in reality, it couldn’t be easier to get started with Google Reader… so get going!
