I read the news with an RSS reader every day; it's been extremely useful in helping me keep up with current events. On that note, I'm looking for a website that posts quizbowl-relevant info (preferably history) on a regular basis, and is accessible by RSS. For instance, I've been searching for reliable a feed for Wikipedia's daily featured articles, but with no luck.
Are there any RSS feeds that I could use to help study for quiz bowl in general?

Re: RSS feeds for study?
Also, finding out the above was not very hard. If you like to go to any kind of website that is managed via a Content Management System, odds are that it has an RSS feed going for it.
If you want to subscribe to the feed, just copy/past your URL into google reader, and it will parse out the right link. For instance, to find out the wikipedia feed, I just put in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page into the google reader subscribe box.
I can only imagine that other readers are more than capable of doing just this.
