The bigger problem is that the amount of information you can consume using RSS feeds is declining. Most sites don't publish RSS feeds of their content any more.

Sadly RSS is left over from a time when things were more open. Now everything is an app and everyone wants you to stay in their walled garden.

Yeah, there's a couple of interesting sites I would like to follow, but they don't provide RSS feeds, so I don't bother.
I personally use http://changedetection.com/ to create RSS feeds for sites that don't have them (though I may move to Huginn agents in future).
There seem to be many services for addressing this. I wonder if anyone has recommendations about which one to use? Searching for "auto generate rss" returns at least a screenful of these.
