In my last article Are you a smart surfer? , I gave a brief about how you can save lots of time while browsing by using three simple but extremely useful websites. The basic idea behind the article was to introduce the power and seamlessapplications of RSS feeds.
Here in this article I will introduce you to 10 websites or feeds which a person should have in his/her RSS feed reader. If you don't have a free RSS feed reader or if you are new to RSS and don't know much about it, please refer to my previous article which describes how to create a free online RSS reader in minutes.
Even if you don't have a RSS reader, these websites are the one's that you should never miss out. So read through.
- I like this site very much because it introduces me to all those good looking and most of the times extremely useful web 2.0 sites which are becoming popular on the internet. I have subscribed to this website and this websites gives me at least 2 - 3 new sites daily which I have never heard of. This way I make sure that whenever a happening site starts to get popular in the net, I will come to know about it before my friends. Ever since I have subscribed to Web20 my friends could never surprise me telling about the features of a new happening website cauz I already know.
- The site description says it all. "Personal finance advice for people struggling to escape from the many-tentacled debt monster (in other words, everyone)". That is right. It is a site in which you can find lots of information regarding how you can improve your financial situation by having more control over your income and expenditure. It also describes the day today amendments and financial offers which we come across in such detail that even a person like me with absolutely no financial educational background can understand it without any trouble. Trust me, this site can solve lots of your problems and may be get more from life.
- This site is for the frugal in you. If you think that you don't overspend then this site can show you n +1 number of ways to save on your day today activities. It also brings the background story behind all the financial laws and tells you what is hot and what is not. I have picked up acouple of tips from this site which has helped me save a lot (both time and money). The message which this site is trying to give is "There is a catch even in the most ordinary things of life".
- "Don't live to geek, Geek to live". That is the motto of life hacker. This is my most favorite feed. It gives me loads and loads of tips for getting things done and suggests excellent downloads and tweaks which will save you loads of your valuable time. No matter whether you are looking for the latestiphone tweaks or just wondering how you can make your life more productive, then this is the place for you. I bet there is something for all of you in this site.
- Make use of is a site which provides you web applications, cool tips, reviews and other really useful tools. But there are other websites which does the same. The reason why I included this RSS feed in my reader is because of the new websites which they introduce to me. May be because they give more stress to quantity, the quality of the websites is on a bit of a lower side, but hey let us look at the bright side of things. Sometimes it introduces some really precious gems which other websites totally miss out.
- Webupon is driven by users like you and I. I like it for its simplicity of design and ease of content accessibility. I have seen some really cool articles in Webupon. It has also got a popular tag and popular article section through which a user can easily access the content they are looking for. The articles in webupon are not restricted to geeky stuff which is boring to some people. There are articles which belong to the artistic, social and philosophical category. Do try it out.
- As every one might know, this is a social book marking site which means it is driven by user ratings. So, if some article makes it to the top of the del.icio.us hotlist, then it is surely worth reading. I have subscribed to the feed of del.icio.us hot list to make sure that I don't miss out the articles which hundreds of people found interesting.
- Your daily dose of health related stuff. It is a very well maintained and very frequently updated site which will have tones and tones of health information. Right from how to lose/gain weight to the questions which people wished they could ask someone. You name it, they have it.
- About 90 % of the web surfers will have a news site which they go through daily. In my case, I have an international news feed (Google News), a local news feed and an economic news feed. The feed which a person chooses will depend on his likes or dislikes. But you should have Google news as your international news feed. The reason why I likeGoogle news is because it is more frequently updated than any other news feeds. You might also go for BBC which is also pretty decent.
- Alright, here I am not referring to any particular link. But most people will come across a Blog once in a life time which he/she feels very attracted to. He will feel that the author and is of the same frequency or wave length (or whatever you call it) as him. I have seen many Blogs which have lots of real life experience which became useful for me when I came across the same situation as the author did. It is up to you to pick up these little gems and subscribe to the feed so that even if you forget the website later, you will get the fresh article whenever the author posts a new one. Haven't come across any such yet? Hit the link and start browsing through the blogs. You never know when you will get lucky.
That is it. I know there are lots of experienced web surfers out there who might have already discovered amazing websites and feeds. Please share it with us so that every one can benefit. Comments are most welcome.
