Keep up to date with your interests online
If you like to keep track of what’s new online on your favourite topics, but the thought of having to visit hundreds of sites or read a copious nunber of individual RSS feeds regularly to do so leaves you cold, the Lazyfeed site might be just what you need.
It does all the leg work for you. You just enter the topic or topics you’re interested in and the site will display new content as it appears online in your areas of interest, with the most recent items at the top.
When you sign up to the site (it’s free), you are asked to nominate three topics, but you can add more at any time by typing in tag:yourtopic in the search box and clicking on the Save button.
Once you’ve established your topics, you can click on any of them from the left-most panel and you’ll be presented with results in the form of an excerpt on the left. You can go to the originating site from the entry to see more. If you find something that you’d like to share with others who share your interests, you can do so via Twitter, Facebook or email.

If nothing else, you’ll discover sites with content of interest that you may not have known about and you can bookmark them to visit in the future.
