Times are tight...how to save a bit of money (continued)

      If you have a mobile device such as a Blackberry and like to read newspapers, blogs or other rss enabled websites, you might want to take a look at Viigo. Viigo is a wonderful piece of software for your PDA that is both free and extremely functional.  Outside of email, Viigo it is the application that I use the most on my phone.

    

  The premise of viigo is simple.  It basically gathers updates from any RSS enabled website when the phone is not busy so you can read the article at your leisure.  Most newspaper and magazine websites and all blog are RSS enabled.  If there is any doubt look for the orange icon to the right.  For the lawyers out there, the link to the Daily Law Bulletin's feed  is  www.chicagolawbulletin.com/rss/headings.xml

      Once you locate the icon or find a link called feed, cut and paste the link into viigo, and it will do the rest.  It is extremely easy to setup.  I love having this sort of information at my finger tips when I am on the train, standing in line, or just generally bored.  My personal favorite sites range from news to photography to tech information.

There are also a number of other feature beyond the newsfeeds:

Weather

Stocks

Sports 

Games
