Life Hack: Stay on top of your field with feeds
Leon at Life Hack puts together a good list of sources to stay on top of your field by using RSS feeds. And to charge that up with a life hack, there’s some good suggestions on how to make Google Reader do some of the heavy lifting. Give it a read. Its a great start to figuring out how to get your head around the blogosphere when monitoring topics of importance to you. I would add PodZinger to this list of sources as well to cover podcasts and YouTube videos.
You could also use ZapTXT to group specific sources together and filter results for topics or keywords across these sources (for example: Monitor <client name> across your trusted blogs and news sites or Technorati’s authoritative sources + Digg, Del.icio.us etc.) so you only get what you care about. And as with all ZapTXT alerts, we’ll come find you via your choice of IM, Skype, Mobile Device or Email.
Cheers, Sameer
