Oh the hours I have wasted surfing and clicking, clicking and surfing.  So many precious minutes exploring websites for something interesting to read.  Equivocal to time spent flicking through channels when there was nothing stimulating on TV.  The end result all the same, 'settling' for a terrible article on TMZ  http://www.tmz.com/ .

I am happy to say; These times are over!  I have been introduced to the RSS (Really Simple Syndication)! The video in the link below explains quite well, and in lay-mens term (read: with pictures) what an RSS is, and how an RSS will save you valuable time, and make the internet more efficient for you.  

To quickly summarize: An RSS searches out articles and sites you want to read, and delivers them to you.  If there is nothing new and exciting on your favorite sites, there was no time wasted looking,  because there will be no notifications in your RSS Reader.

Watch the video.  For real.
