What Do You Read Daily?

I thought it would be a nice idea to combine the task of encouraging my students to start subscribing to, and reading regular RSS feeds with the idea of making a nice blog post full of our favourites.

So i will start the ball rolling in the comments by listing my chosen few (some come, some go, few stay), and those of you who see me on a Monday morning will of course follow suit or incur my wrath, the rest of the world, no wrath, just play fair, if you read this and think, hmm, interesting, ..tell us which feeds you find interesting.

And Finally, ..before you ask where these lovely Feed icons came from, and before i get in trouble for not leaving their url in the link title (sorry guys, need to tell my users info in the title, ..but this should make up for it)…

click on the image to grab them.

…ADDITIONAL (16-04-2008)

Just stumbled across another lovely post with loads of free RSS icons.

If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed!

    Before I was told of the RSS feed, I just went to the website and check for freshness. Even though I had visit and read same of the pages many times, I think the old information is important and useful.
    But it is also good to have RSS when you have many pages that you like and don’t have time to check at all of then.

    Checking for Freshness, ..i love it :))

    It is true, it is nice to see websites and other things rather than just the content, but in terms of staying on top of technology/news/and other interests, ..there are just too many sites for me to be able to check everyday, ..this is why RSS is so useful, ….if the article interests you then we usually click on the title and get taken to the website anyway.

    Thanks for the feeds.

    Hey Mog,
    Hope you are enjoying your holiday ;)
    For the feeds I am now using Google Reader which is simple on a daily base.
    I subscribed to your website of course ( good for the ranking lol) and then to Php.net, Webconfs about SEO, I love typography ( because I really do), Flash News (my second nature ..), Bittbox for Illustrator and Photoshop brushes and designs and other designs websites.

    Thank you Vincenzo, …but are you actually going to tell us the urls for these feeds of which you speak, ..or do we have to find them ourselves :)
