new technology on deadinsect

I have installed an rss/xml button feed.

If you're not familiar with the technology, for most people RSS is just a slightly quicker and more ordered way of reading news websites. It gathers the headlines and stories into convenient chunks for your perusal.

For example if you use RSS to read BBC News, you go from this:


To this:


So, for work I read about 20 news sites/blogs that are related to advertising (new campaigns, research, industry news, etc). Using the rss reader 'Sage' for Firefox prolly reduces the time this takes me from about 45 minutes to about 15.

The other bit of news, is that I have installed a search-deadinsect-using-google feature! I don't know what you would even search for, as frankly I haven't got a clue who even reads this site. I like the idea that someone might find it useful one day though.
