how do u subscribe to an RSS feed? does it just automatically d/l stuff for u or something?

help?

Firstly, you need a News Reader that will read the feed for you, like RSSOwl, or several Fx extensions. Then you need to set it up, and start adding in those little orange feeds.

Some feeds I like:

http://www.abc.net.au/tv/rss/

Seeing as the issue has already been answered quite clearly, I'll just take the opportunity to say that I find RSS saves me a fair bit of time, and is definitely something that people should check out if they spend more time than they'd like checking whether their favourite sites have updated. What I also like is the fact that RSS is popping up on more and more sites now.

Personally, as an RSS client I use KlipFolio. I'm sure the functionality is quite similar in most clients, but I like KlipFolio because it's visually fairly appealing and sits in a nice little corner on my desktop. I monitor Blabbermouth, Slashdot, SANS Reading Room, BluesNews, A project website that I'm running, my inbox, and the often-entertaining grouphug.us all through here, and it saves a load of time compared to checking each for updates multiple times a day.

Uh, yeah, I guess that's it, two thumbs up for RSS, who'd have thought the "instant" style of the Internet could get any more instant

Hey, that's a really nice app. I was always looking for something like that.

Although, I don't know if I'll change from google reader. Since I don't need to install anything for it.

I just really like the idea of everything being there on the desktop for me whenever I need it, so it's well worth the install for me. But yeah, depending on how you use RSS I guess it may or may not be worth it Either way though, like you said it's a pretty nice app, and the dev team are quite pleasant and responsive to bug reports too (Not that I mean to imply it's bug ridden, since I've been using it I've come across one minor issue and it was in a beta)

Another thing that I really liked was the fact that you can set different alerts for each feed, so I have all the news/recreation ones set to just grab updates but never alert me (Because I read those at my leisure, rather than as they come in), and have things like email and project site updates set to display a popup notice that there've been changes
