APS does RSS

The American Physical Society now offers RSS Feeds for recently published articles in several of their journals.

RSS is a way to get only the news you want delivered in ways that you specify without being inundated with emails. I like Bloglines; APS makes its own Reader recommendations.

If you do decide to try out an RSS Reader, don't forget to subscribe to this blog's feed by using the "Site Feed" link over there on the right....
