Once you get it set up, using a feed reader can be a very efficient way to view many different web sites and a lot of information. You don't get to see the design of the sites very often, however, and you miss out on all of their advertising... which they may be counting on to stay afloat. Do you care?
Do you find RSS to be useful? Will you keep using an aggregator, like Bloglines? If so, which one?
I really won't miss the advertising and it will be nice to just see the information that I need. I do find RSS useful especially on a site that is of interest to me. Since I'm already signed up for Bloglines, I will keep using it plus I can keep up with my instructor and information that he finds useful.

The advertising question is a big issue... some sites work ads into their feeds (which anyone can do if they use something like Feedburner.com services) or show only teasers or the first part of their articles to entice people to "click-through" --
