RSS Feeds have been around for many years, but still haven't made it to mainstream. They now have big competition from Facebook and Twitter but are still worth looking at if you want to organise your information more efficiently. You can basically create your own Newsportal with up-to-date information about only the things you are interested in.
The basic concept is the following: Instead of searching for information on different websites the information is automatically delivered to you, free of charge.
Say, your are interested in the latest business news about Chilean Tourism, International News about Chilean wine, the latest updates on Carolina Bianchi's Blog (the Director of Revista City) and the Updates from your contacts on Linkedin or Facebook . Instead of visiting each website every day or even search on Google for the news, you subscribe to the various feeds and all the updates are delivered automatically into one place. All you need is a feed reader. If you want your reader to have a magazine style look & feel, get feedly, a firefox add-on that converts your Reader Feeds into your own individual Newsportal.
And this is how it works (en español).
