Personal Note:  I currently use Google Reader and love it.  At last count I was  subscribed to about 150 different feeds.  Obviously I don’t have anywhere near enough hours in the day to read that many feeds and still …. well, have a life.  Which brings me to two great points about RSS feed readers:

  1.  With an RSS Reader  you get the headlines or the headlines with a brief excerpt and then you can skim through them quickly and just read the ones that you want.  
  2. You can put the feeds in categories ( i.e.- Money, Autism, Education, Health,  Special Education, Parent Hacks, etc.) and then just pick the ones you want to check out on any given day.
