IT RSS Feeds

Posted in IT, News at 9:42 pm by Tyler Reguly

Over the weekend I started playing with RSS... It's been a while since I had my own RSS reader and decided I'd try one again... I decided that instead of a seperate browser I wanted a Firefox plugin (I played with a number of Firefox plugins this weekend and I plan to review a number of them in the upcoming weeks). After playing with a couple of plugins, and some stand alone readers... I decided on NewsFox.

It is a little sluggish... and the occasional feed it hasn't been able to read properly... There's no "mark all as read", you have to perform the task per feed.. but overall it's pretty good. I've got about 80 feeds in it, it checks them every 30 minutes and notifies me of any changes... I've also installed it at work and transfered over the OPML file (attached below)...

I built a fairly complete list of IT Secuity / IT News feeds... I started with blogs / sites that I frequent and then added ones that were linked off those... The result is what's below. I'm calling it the Computer Defense RSS Compilation :)... I'll be updating it as I update my own feed... and I'll also welcome input from anyone who feels they have input to add. The file was exported from NewsFox, so if you import it into any other reader the feeds will be added in a folder called NewsFox.

Let me know if you come across any additions.

Peace,
HT
