If you have a smartphone you can get the feeds sent there as well.

Best thing to do is just try it out and see if you like it.

That's my experience as well. RSS is very nice if you're specifically looking for information that pertains to something you are interested in. For example - if you're into cyber security and interested in computer forensics - you can RSS feed that info from multiple sources into one central location so that you can be updated by what's new out in cyberland without having to search all of the sites to see if there's new content. It, theoretically, reduces the amount of information you have to go through to get to what you need. The key is focusing the RSS feeds to very specific information - the more narrow, the better.
