I think there is an easy way and a hard way to discover great content or news. The easy way is to let a group of people you follow post links to stories you might be interested in since you did opt-in to follow them. Stories will be from all over the web that they probably found from friends or maybe from old-fashioned RSS.<\/p>\n<p>The hard way is to find a blog or news agency you highly respect and subscribe to their news-stream via RSS. Not every story will excite you but some may be things you never would have heard about otherwise\u2026I still think back to that Andy Inhatko quote about the power of browsing through a newspaper versus searching Google for something you already know about and want to learn more.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to rely on people we follow for news but very hard to choose from trusted RSS subscriptions to deliver to you. Anyone who complains RSS is tedious, irrelevant or a waste of time should remove 50% of the RSS they subscribe to and go out to find new content sources. Only then will you be excited by RSS again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Six Colors: But I prefer the perishability of Twitter rather than the potential finishabilty.
