There are all sorts of explanations out there about how to make the most of “Web 2.0″ technologies. One of the most exciting developments on the Web is the ability to have information from websites come to you instead of you going out to websites to see what’s new. I use Google Reader to keep track of about 40 websites–not just the sites themselves, but sections that interest me. For example, I get headlines about Education from the New York Times, eSchool News, and the Chronicle of Philanthropy and my tech news from the Unofficial Apple Weblog and the Official Google Blog. My point? It’s like your own personal daily newspaper–but better, because from within a single website, I can email things to friends, save clippings and post to my own weblog. Here’s a great video on how to set things up. Are you using RSS? A fan? Afraid? Sound off in the comments, oh and of course, you should subscribe to the Wire’s feed.
