I have been a user of RSS feeds for around two years now for almost every site that allows this feature. At first I was quite selective of the sites I would receive my feeds from as it would fill up my inbox and I would find that most of the updates were useless for me. Since then though I have been using the software Awasu (a RSS organiser) which has been fantastic. I am able to customise my RSS feeds and have them organised exactly as I wish.
I find RSS feeds extremely useful for my SOR and Multimedia classes as there are a number of issues in both of these subjects that are continuously changing. For Religion I am able to get continual updates on Ethical issues such as Abortion and IVF from government and religious agencies and I am also able to keep up to date with all of the new and emerging technologies and laws relating to the Multimedia industry. Without an RSS feed I would be wasting hours of time looking for these items. RSS also allows me to stay up to date with all BOS changes that occur with my senior classes and this information is priceless.
