Nice Touch — Elīna Lībiete

«Reading the news is getting more and more depressing every year, but you don’t want to be totally out of the loop. I solved this problem for myself with technology from 1999 — the RSS feed, which is a personalized aggregator of Internet content. It allows you to create a healthier media diet, follow only the topics that interest you, never miss content from obscure blogs that publish something only once a year, and avoid ads, clickbait, and the endless stream of bad news. You’ll have to be a bit of a hacker to build such a system for yourself, but there are services, such as Feedly, that make creating a personalized Internet content stream accessible to everyone. With my RSS feed, I’ve saved a lot of time and nerve cells.»
