It seems like only yesterday we were electing a president and finding out just how poor of a situation many of our major banks and the big three car makers were in. We are bombarded with so much news that it is hard to separate and keep up with all of it. I thought I might share a couple of hints on how I personally peruse what is vital to me each morning. </p> <p>Like so many people my printed newspaper has become electronic in nature. In fact, it has not only become electronic but very specialized in focus. I achieve this via the use of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS">RSS feeds</a>. </p> <img src="http://www.etapwss.com/JaysBlogDoNotTouch/rss_feed_logo_large.gif" alt="" /> <p>They allow me to be piped in with the current news and more importantly opinions that are personally important to me. Most of them I have directed to a gathering place called <a href="http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/my/">My Yahoo</a>. In addition to the news, I can see the weather in the most common areas I visit, such as Charleston, SC, the scores for teams I follow, even the obscure ones and topics that affect the philanthropy world. My favorite as you might guess are the blog posts from folks whose opinion matters to me. Perhaps I am lucky enough to be piped into a few individual’s home pages with my blog...</p> <p>For those of you who have not migrated to the home page format and are involved in this sector I highly suggest two web site portals to stay on top of news and opinion that directly relates to the non-profit world. They are <a href="http://philanthropy.com/">philanthropy.com</a> and <a href="http://www.nptimes.com/">nptimes.com</a>. A quick perusal of these two, especially the daily news sections will keep you informed in numerous ways.</p> <p>Anyway, today, if you have not heard, is tax day here in the United States, no matter what news source you are using!</p><img src="http://forums.blackbaud.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=40819" width="1" height="1">rss feeds
