I subscribed to Fark, boingboing & gizmodo for a while but got overwhelmed and now just browse each a couple of times per day.

Someone explain RSS and why would I subscribe to them?
Does RM have RSS? Would it be cool if it did?

rss doesn't really make sense for forums, especially high traffic ones. how it's useful can be illustrated by how i use it:
when i launch my web browser in the morning my home page is the above collection of feeds: instead of a page i see a bunch of short "articles" sorted by date and whether i've "read" them (like email + little blurbs). each one has a link to the full version. the benefit is that there are no ads, i only need to visit one "site" (this home page of mine), and that the content can be sorted and filtered as i deem fit. basically it saves me time.
