New to web feeds?
Web feeds—sometimes called newsfeeds
or just feeds
, often prefixed with the feed format (e.g. RSS, Atom), and usually (but not always) indicated with this [orange news feed icon] feed icon—are a great way to get information from several sources all in one place. To use them, you'll need a feed reader. A couple of my favorites are Google Reader (web) and Pulse (Android, iPhone/iPad, or web).
Blogs

- The blog from the Psychiatric News sees new content most weekdays, and the feed contains full posts. Despite some redundancy, both the blog and the newsletter (below) are worth keeping an eye on. The newsletter contains information never posted to the blog, and blog posts sometimes contain information that doesn't appear in the newsletter until two or more issues in the future.
