RSS

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an easy way to keep up with all the sites you check on a daily basis. By entering in the provided feed URL, checking this site, and any site that offers RSS, can be done with a single click of your mouse.

The feed for Gamefilter is: http://oreillywriter.com/gamefilter/feed/atom/
The feed for Provocateur at large is: http://oreillywriter.com/provocateur/feed/atom/

RSS feeds can be imported into your Igoogle, My.Yahoo, or any other applicable homepage. Google also offers a web based RSS feed reader at reader.google.com. Bloglines is also another popular choice.

To get the most out of RSS feeds, it is recommended that you use a non-web based application.
