news feeds are a great facility to keep yourself updated with news updates. they are more up to date and more unintrusive than e-mail newsletters, and of course they are completely free. the most web browsers have good built-in feed readers, but you also have the opportunity to use a stand-alone reader or to use a web reader like for example the Google Reader.
