Did you know that today is RSS Awareness Day?  I didn't either until I was reading RSS feeds in Google Reader with my morning americano.  I know for me, RSS has greatly impacted how I browse the web.  I don't spend much time browsing any more, unless I'm looking for very specific information.  Most of the items I read comes to me via RSS and I get it shortly after it is posted.  Makes the processes very efficient.
