If you’re not using a (free) news­reader yet, please read this Wired arti­cle. It’ll save you LOTS of time. Link: Wired News: News­read­ers Cut to the Chase:

News­read­ers pull head­lines from a vari­ety of blog­gers and news sources includ­ing CNN, The New York Times, Wired News and the San Fran­cisco Chron­i­cle
that have embraced the RSS (Real Sim­ple Syn­di­ca­tion) stan­dard for
for­mat­ting con­tent. Not all news sources offer RSS feeds, but more are
being added every day .… Being able to scan the news faster while access­ing a wider vari­ety of sources improves both the qual­ity and quan­tity of your time online.

My pre­ferred news­reader is the free web-based ser­vice called Blog­lines. If you’d like tips or  rec­om­men­da­tions on feeds to add, includ­ing major news sources, let me know and I’ll send them to you via Blog­lines. You won’t even have to lift a finger.

If you decide to use another ser­vice and would like to add my feed, just cut and paste this link into the “add feed” space on your newsreader:
