Still remember the experience of reading news paper: just several pieces of paper, but it can accompany you through long and boring periods as "...in W.C...in train...". It proves that if I want to read through the entire journal, I have to spend several hours! But, in fact, there are rare useful information for me!
Thanks to the boom of internet, one can browse nearly anything he want to learn just using the mouse pointer. Also thanks to modern information technology, ICPs can organize "news" and "olds" conveniently. But, I believe in most case, we just keep jumping from one hyperlink to another, therefore, the browsing may take great time and efforts from us. To be frank, it is a waste of time indeed.
People are always so smart that there are always so many changes on us everyday. Among those, there is one tiny stuff called "RSS". If you want to learn more about this abbreviation, please search through google.com. Currently, many websites offer content updates in RSS format. Correspondingly, there are many tools to read the RSS files.So, I don't need to tolerate the tiresome low speed to let sina, netease,.. show all they have to me. I just need the updated ones! It saves much of my time.
If you have any interests, I will guide you through the whole procedure of mine.
1. Choose one RSS reading tool, I choose Greatnews(Windows) and Liferea(Linux).
2. Choose RSS sources:
2.1 there are several places where people can discuss and save many interesting things together:such as digg(http://digg.com/rss/index.xml), populicious(http://populicio.us/newlinks.rss), reddit(http://reddit.com/.rss). After subcribing to those RSS feeds, I can obtain one rough understanding of those people are talking about mostly.
2.2 I choose google news as the main source of domestic news. I don't like baidu news search, because it just directly shows you ALL what it gets by sending you over one thousand "news" to you in no more than one hour, then what is the key points?
2.3 If you are interested in interesting new engadgets, you can subcribe to this feed: http://www.engadget.com/rss.xml
2.4 Because I want to know the development of Linux and other open source projects, I also read feeds from lwn, slashdot, linux today.

3. After the process of subscription, most of the configuration is done.
Then, all you have to do will be: Open the tool, click the "update all" button, and the tool will collect all those you want to be informed from google, linux today, .... And then, you can just spend a little time to keep yourself updated.
