RSS is pretty damn handy, for all the reasons mentioned on the ACL Learning blog. I use Google Reader to handle my subscriptions. There are currently about 18 different feeds on there, but there used to be closer to 40. This was an accurate list, at the time, of what I was regularly going from site to site to read, every day.
I'm not addicted, honest. That's why I cut down to 18, to make my online reading more managaeable. One thing that still bugs me is RSS feeds that have click-throughs - why provide an RSS feed if I'm gonna have to go to your website to read the article anyway? Please, full text everyone.
Signing up for Bloglines was a very simple and familiar process. It behaves very similarly to Google Reader, so did not find it difficult adding subscriptions. It also had a handy feature which showed popular feeds when I signed up, which happened to have a few of the feeds I wanted, making things even easier.
