Social Leaders & RSS Readers

Social leaders need to stay up with breaking knowledge and cutting-edge trends from all facets of society. And one of the best ways to do this is through RSS readers.

To put it bluntly, if you’re not using an RSS reader, you’re way behind the times. I’m not going to take the time to explain what it is here, since you can find explanations all across the web, such as this video.

Rather, I simply want to share with you some of the RSS feeds I subscribe to in order to illustrate how powerful they can be and how much real-time information you can have access to at your fingertips.

More importantly, I highly recommend these information sources and thought leaders.

Note that all of the following links are to the direct RSS feed, not the actual website. Set up your RSS reader first, then click on these to subscribe to them.
