I recommend Google Reader for a web-based RSS aggregator — a single Internet location where all of the RSS feeds you subscribe to are collected for you to read in one place at your leisure. Imagine getting your favorite tech news, politics, and Sufficient Thrust all at once!

The super-easy way to subscribe to Sufficient Thrust (read the directions FIRST and then follow them!):

  • Click the orange square that says “RSS Feed” on the right-hand-side of the screen.

  • To access your Google Reader, point your browser to http://www.google.com/reader.

Anytime you see that orange square on a website, you can click on it and subscribe to that site’s feed!
