I want to keep abreast of various topics, and am tired of going from website to website to keep up with it. The vast majority of them have RSS feeds. I want to do it from three sources - my home computer, my work computer and my iphone. What is the easiest way to do this? I’ve had them going to a [my.yahoo.com](http://my.yahoo.com) page, but am wondering if there’s an easier place to have these delivered to. What does everyone else use?

I’ve been using Google Reader. Simple to use, in a Gmail-like interface, and is mostly devoid of those weird buried options and back alleys Google Apps sometimes have.

Works across any OS or browser, including a very clean mobile website that I use with Android with no problem. And if you use Firefox, there are a host of extensions that can improve the experience.

Ad yes, the amount of information you’re suddenly able to keep track of with almost no effort once you get a proper RSS reader is astonishing.

Netvibes - hubby turned me onto it. Total time saver.

Seconding Google Reader.

The interface is clean and easy to use.

Fourthing Google Reader. Super easy to use, and best of all, you can access it from anywhere.
