Something I've found as useful or more useful than the RSS feed is Google Alerts, you can set them up for any of your interest and it will send you website that have updated with your search term. You can set up a search for your favorite sports or movie star (you can stalk them from the safety of your computer), your hobby, you can set up any search terms you want. Google will then e mail you everyday with results, it will even scour blogs if you want them too.
