What do I need to know about RSS feeds?
>Is this an outdated medium or can information be effectively absorbed this route?
if you follow a bunch of content from disparate sites it's useful. News, blogs, changelogs, etc. Then you get all the content in 1 place instead of a dozen.
I use it for blogs (mostly porn) and slow-to-update comics so that I don't have to keep checking the sites.
I use it for everything from blogs and newsites to youtube.

Gotta keep up with all those advancements in female anatomy, I guess
Feedly is great
I use it follow my favorite novel translation.
Atleast i don't have to join F5 sect.
it's great, mostly use it in podcast form.
need to self host my rss catcher on my server again, since i have yet to do that after nuking it.
The most efficient way to get information. Twitter or facebook feel clunky compared to it.

with ads, they buy anything what an ad says.
I use it for some YouTube channels, tech news sites, and gaming news, but i mainly use it for following translation blogs for Chinkenese martial arts/fantasy novels.
If i ever find a TV Show worth a shit like Stephen Fry's QI, i also use it to get updated on that shit too.
1. It is not an outdated medium, it's just that people are too fucking stupid to set it up when it's easier to use than god damn Torrenting, and that some sites are too retarded to utilize it. Albeit most sites have support one way or another.
2. RSS Feed Readers in the form of browser addons are fucking retarded and gobble up resources and memory more than just having a normal individual program. They also break browsers. Albeit browser based Readers look aesthetically better than programs.
3. Look up QuiteRSS or RSSOwl (this one's UI adapts way better than QuiteRSS to theme changes and ricing in OSs, but it's not as good as QuiteRSS i hear).
4. You can set up filters and notifications however you like in the programs to filter out words, sentences, filtering based on the location of the filters (header, description, content), and myriads of ways to regulate your feed content and what it shows or ignores when sites are being sniffed.

my roommate uses tab groups. He has one with like 12 tabs of web comics
I was using Google Reader, but when it was kill, I was searching for good alternative for a long time.
And I found it: Commafeed
Open source, compact layout, lightweight.
I'm poorfag, but as soon as I get some money, I am donating to dude who makes/maintains Commafeed.
