In my last post, we explored whether RSS can make a comeback. Judging by the response, many see the value in reclaiming control over content consumption.
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) isn’t just an old-school tech relic—it’s a powerful, flexible way to stay informed without algorithms deciding what you see. Whether you want to follow your favorite blogs, track industry trends, or automate workflows, RSS has endless applications beyond just reading news.
Interesting RSS Feeds to Follow:
Here are a few high-quality feeds across different categories:
✔ TechCrunch – Stay updated on the latest tech news and startups.
✔ NPR News – Get comprehensive national and international news coverage.
✔ Mashable – Dive into tech, digital culture, and entertainment.
✔ Reddit’s r/worldnews – Follow top-scoring posts in global news.
✔ All That Is Interesting – Discover fascinating and unusual stories worldwide.
Creative Ways to Use RSS Feeds:
RSS isn’t just for reading—it can be a powerful tool for automation, content curation, and productivity:
✔ Content Curation for Newsletters – Aggregate articles from various sources to create a custom newsletter for your audience.
✔ Social Media Automation – Automatically share new blog posts or articles to your social media channels.
✔ Job Alerts – Subscribe to RSS feeds from job boards for real-time updates on new job listings.
✔ Monitoring Competitors – Monitor industry trends by following competitors’ blogs or news feeds.

RSS is an open, decentralized alternative to algorithm-driven feeds—and it never really went away. It can be as relevant today as ever with the proper feeds and tools.
