Death of Print by RSS

The death of newspaper is being hastened by RSS, "Really Simple Syndication". It's a very popular way to search the internet for interesting websites and get an automatic feed of all of the new stories/topics that you want to read about. It prioritizes the immense and, quite frankly, overwhelming amount of information and retrieves it for you. Instead of scouring websites for endless, (sometimes boring) hours, all topics you identify are instantly fed to you. Most news sites, and blogs syndicate their content/information as an RSS feed.

I stumbled upon another interesting tool last night via a posting from a fellow realtor on Trulia: Twellowhood. It gives you the ability to do a geographic search of people using Twitter.com. While it has taken me some time to see the value of Twitter to my business, with use of Twellowhood, it might begin to serve some purpose in zeroing in on local news or networking opportunities.
