If so, what sites?
 
I knew of them, but I never really used them before until recently. Now I just have a variety of blogs in there (from tech to games to movies to sports), but I don't really use it for sites that aren't in a traditional blog format, such as GB or 1UP. Quite convenient though.

It is a little at first, but you get used to it. I've been using Brief in Mozilla and that one in particular makes it really quite simple. Think I got like, 8 sites in there now.

I barely even surf the net anymore thanks to RSS. The net comes to ME! 
I've got Joystiq and Kotaku for games, espn, foxsports and a number of local blogs for sports, CNN for news, ANN and Bleachworld for anime, and MORE!

I used to use it A LOT, first with a Firefox add-on that helped me managed them, then I switched to Google Reader, then I went to a trip in which I didn't have access to a computer for about a month and the burden was just too much, soooo many new items that were unread, too much. So now I just go to the sites themselves. 
 
Maybe I'll go back, maybe.

It can be more daunting than just visiting the sites when you miss checking it for a day and see like 198 new items that have popped up. My advice: don't do more than 10 sites.

Yep, Giantbomb, Destructoid, Kotaku, Joystiq, Major Nelson, Cheapassgamer, and Woot.
 
I would recommend Google Reader for reading feeds, it's naice. I've got everything spewing into my homepage.

I use them mainly to get the podcasts I like straight to my PSP but generally I dont use RSS feeds on desktop since most sites I like enough to read there RSS feed I visit often enough that its pointless.

I did, for about a year. Then I decided it wasn't for me. I'd rather just go to the sites.
