I use RSS to pick up a handful of news feeds.  Really just aggregating  
the press-release aggregators from within my mail program.  I can then  
quickly peruse the articles and update my website accordingly.


There are three photo sites I visit daily:
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html
http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photo-of-the-day
http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/

that LJ, but the woman who posts there has pretty good taste.


As far as I can tell, the filter just looks for letter combinations.  So 
"Trafalgar Sea Stories", for example, would not get through.  Looking 
for biological stuff causes no end of problems.

I follow a bunch of photo blogs/image aggregators via LiveJournal and RSS 
feeds (via Google Reader).  Here are five:


http://ound.com/
Awesome image aggregator.  Stuff ends up here from every corner of the web. 
Occasionally NSFW.


http://industrialdecay.blogspot.com/
Photos of industrial and urban decay.  NOTE: High-bandwidth site.  LOTS of 
photos on the main page, but worth every one of them!


http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/
The URL is as much description as you should need.

http://npocto-kpacota.livejournal.com/
Russian (I'm guessing) LJ featuring photos that are usually heavily 
photoshopped, but still quite pretty.


http://failblog.org/
Photos of failures of various kinds.  Basically, schadenfreude and facepalm 
moments.

I visit here, the FourThirds forum, the GetDPI forum, DPReview hell,
and photo.net most days.

Lately I'm inclined to read online magazines and blogs I've subscribed
to rather more than mailing lists and forums. Lens Culture is a good
one, as is Guernica blog and magazine.

I have never gotten into rss.  seems a good way to keep up with PPG
while avoiding that nasty flash interface.  Love the work there but it
usually only takes me half an hour to get really annoyed.  Most of the
personal sites here are better designs.
