Having to get the daily news and updates can sometimes be a daunting task. With the emergence of the Internet years ago it has taken the method of being updated to new heights. There are many blogs, newsletters, daily news feeds, etc. available to anyone interested in obtaining information relevant to their life or situation. The list could go on and on about the many approaches that can be taken via the Internet to obtain professional and personal updates to ones life. As a trainer and training in a specialty area has encouraged me to read news form sources that keep me up to date within my profession. The importance of feeds is that instead of me going out to the Internet searching for the most updated news, the news comes straight to me via Google Reader. The major sources I read each day and have chosen to receive daily feeds from are
