I can’t remember the last time I actually searched for an RSS feed. Granted, I’m not the typical participant in this project but I look at it as a "you’ll be out here some day too" scenario. Once you’re hooked on RSS, you’ll notice it virtually everywhere. It’s hiding in search engines like Google News and PubMed. It’s attached to practically every blog and online newspaper in existence these days. And, if there isn’t a feed for the site you want to follow, you can use a service like Page2RSS to make a feed for you. Just keep your eyes open and the RSS will start to fall into your lap.
