Many social websites nowadays provide news feeds – constant updates of changes since your last visit. However, finding all these feeds – to put them in Google Reader, for instance, can be tricky. Well, I’ve taken the hassle out of this chore by putting the URLs of many of the most popular feeds into one handy list. Enjoy.
