Bloglines, Feeds and Google Alerts

I must admit that it took me a while to do this exercise.

I was able to set up a Blogline account using my gmail address. And started subscribing to other blogs and adding these to my feeds. But I realised that the two options given in Blogline (Bloglines and RSS) gave me different results. When I chose Bloglines, the selected blogs will appear in my Blogline account. When I chose RSS, the blogs go to the FEEDS next to Favourites in my computer's internet site. I also used Google Blog search and all alerts went to my gmail. Bloglines, RSS and Google alerts do the same function, notifying you of what's new in your chosen topics.

The good thing about the feeds is that one is kept informed of the latest development in one's area of specialty or topics of interest. Beautiful!
