I loved the RSS in Plain English but I have been a huge fan of commoncraft.com since I learned of the site this past November. It explained what an RSS is faster and more clearly than anyone else I have ever seen try to explain it. Until now I kindof knew what RSS was but never really tried to use it. I have to day that I found setting up subscriptions to be easy and using the google reader also quite simple. I am following 13 of the 23 things participants as well as several education blogs. I can see this being very useful in a social studies classroom for current events and for myself personally to keep up on news and education. I can see this being useful to my students since if they subscribe to follow my blog they will know when I have posted updates without having to check. Saves time and energy and would especially useful to the kids who have slower internet services.
I'm already pretty hooked on the reader setup and I'm looking forward to thing 8 where I will find more feeds that interest me. :)
