I've had a blast using RSS over vacation, as a matter of fact, I just got distracted for the past 20 minutes or so reading everything. I had to quit when I remembered that I had to do this!
I have streamlined the feeds that I've subscribed to as many of them can overlap. I haven't even checked out all of the places that I know I will find interesting feeds.
I don't see how I will use RSS directly with my students, it's not something that I would have them do in class. What I would do is try to get them to follow something that they were interested in, to stay current on a topic, sport, activity, etc. I hope to find some good fitness sites that are relative to middle school age groups. The ones that I found so far are not very active or exciting. If there aren't a lot of things out there right now, I'll bet that there will be in the near future!

Using a technology application personally generally precedes using it professionally. It's great that you are finding RSS useful. I feel sure that you will be able to find some student-use for this, too, even if it is just with a couple of students who are interested in something specific. With your enthusiasm, I'm sure you'll spread the word.
