An excellent way of keeping abreast of the news from here and from your country is to subscribe to several RSS news feeds. These feeds are the titles of the latest articles published on a site. When a title interests you, you click on it and the site opens.
To subscribe to RSS feeds, you need an RSS reader. You can find some online, like
iGoogle (www.google.ca/ig), which is practical to use as your home page. You can also use software applications, which you can consult offline, such as NewsGator (www.newsgator.com). You can display several RSS feeds on the same page. All major newspaper and television channel sites have RSS feeds, which you can access free.
