Programs like Google Reader amalgamate RSS feeds and put them all in one efficient, easy to read place. With the increasing popularity of microblog websites such as Twitter, people are beginning to look for ways to integrate RSS feeds with their friends' Twitter updates.

There are already many options for following RSS feeds of various kinds of microblogs. In fact, the RSS feeds for these types of programs work very much like those used for traditional blogs. However, they are great tools because many times, different friends use different microblogging programs. Sometimes, a person may prefer to microblog using their Facebook account. Another person may be devoted only to Twitter. RSS feeds are a simple way of keeping up with all of your friends, no matter what microblog service they prefer.

If you use a microblogging service like Twitter and would like to offer friends, family and coworkers an easy way to keep up with your updates, you could offer them your RSS feed. Sometimes, it can be smart to simply include your RSS feed on the bottom of the emails you send, as part of your signature. If you do not like that idea, there's always the option of simply inviting people to follow your microblog personally.

No matter how you go about it, there is no question that communications are changing on a day to day basis thanks to microblogs and RSS feeds. Keeping up with the people in your life has never been easier or more intuitive. The limited space format of microblogs encourages conciseness, making it much easier to quickly scan through to get an idea of what people are up to. Sifting through long, sometimes boring blog posts is no longer as much of a problem.

Microblogging is sure to only continue growing in popularity. Therefore, it would be smart to get into it now, and to set up an RSS reader for your favorite people and their microblogs. By having it all arranged now, you will be ahead of the game down the road.
