HACK: How gamers can get the most out of del.icio.us

This little hack will help you get the best video gaming content on del.icio.us piped to your feed reader.

What you need
A free account at del.icio.us
A feed reader (I use Google Reader)

What to do
This is a pretty simple process. Visit the del.icio.us 'popular' page for the tag you want to pipe to your reader, scroll down to the bottom of the page and right-click on the 'RSS feed for this page' button. Save the URL and add it to your feed reader. I keep my del.icio.us tag feeds organized in a 'del.icio.us gaming' folder within my feed reader.
