I've never used an RSS feed before - I usually have my favourite blogs/websites bookmarked and enjoy mooching through them most evenings. Although the feed seems more time efficient- it is certainly much easier to have all new posts in one place, and I could easily set it up on my lovely new phone, in the end I think I will just sick to my usual browsing habits. Just call me old fashioned (cue the scoffing from everyone at work) but I enjoy all the peripherals which a whole blog offers (even the ads).
The RSS feed for Outlook just seems to be like another wonderful excuse to distract myself from work, so as someone who is a habitual procrastinator I have decided to abstain from it. :)
This week I have also added two new lists on my blog, which you can see to the left. One is a list of non-web 2.0 training blogs which I currently follow in my RSS, the other is a list of websites (mostly shops and comics) which I frequently visit. I'd encourage anyone who loves wasting either time or money to take a look at them and let me know what you think.
I enjoy the peripherals too, but having everything in one place means I can quickly browse and then go to anything that looks particularly interesting. It's like having a blog/pod preview pane.

I think I am a bit like you too. I find it a bit hard to change old habbits and enjoy the way I currently browse my favourite sites when I have spare time. Maybe one day, I will change my way of browsing???
