Subscribe to blogs to get quality information you are interested in

One way to save time scouring the internet for information is to setup a feed reader and subscribe to news or blog feeds on sites which interest you.

A feed is simply a method by which people publish lists of thier posts in a format that a specialized reader can pick up. Once you get and install a program to keep up on feeds that interest you, you can simply open it and see all new posts / articles from those sites you subscribe to.

A quick, simple way to set this up is as follows:

1. Download a feed reading program ( FeedReader ).
2. Once the download completes, run the installer ( feedreader.exe )
3. Select the language you wish to use.
4. Choose whether or not you want it to run when you turn on your computer.
5. Select any of the default feeds you would like to import ( I do not choose any, but you might browse them and see if there are any which interest you ).
6. Once the program is open, subscribe to the feeds you are interested by entering the web address of the feed or selecting the feed on a web site and selecting feedreader as the application to read it with.

For example, if you were to subscribe to this site, you would select the orange rss feed image at the top right of the site ( or the blue feedburner image next to it ) and choose to subscribe with feedreader ( or the feed reader or your choice ).

Once you do so, the recent articles from this site will show up in your feed reader and as I publish new articles, they will show up there as well.

Do that with most or all of the sites you find interesting and you can simply open your feed reading program ( or web site ) and see what has been published on your favorite sites. This can save quite a bit of time even if you actively manage your bookmarks.
