My buddy Shawn at Dallassouthblog does a great short post on the benefits of using a feed reader to enhance your internet experience. If your not using one, you need to check out what it can do for you.

Enhance your blog/internet experience with feed readers

By now we have visited various websites and entered our zip codes to find out how close a registered sex offender lives to us, but usually that is just a snapshot in time. What if one moves tomorrow in your neighborhood and you don’t think to go back to that website for another six months? OffenderWatch.com is a service that notifies you by email any time a registered sex offender moves within one mile of your address. All you do is enter your address and within minutes you receive an email with your results. Of course you can manually look up your address but as busy as I am, I want to know as soon as someone moves close.

Offenders move an average of 4 times a year! Citizens want, and need, easy access to sex offender data so they can run neighborhood searches around their home and school. They want to stay updated with emails and postal mailings whenever there is a change around them.

The service is offered by a number of law enforcement agencies across the nation. To find one new you click hereand then search by state or just enter your email.
