If you need to monitor and track content updates from many different web sources, while being able to manage and easily update such sets of content sources, you may want to look into dynamic OPML reading lists.

In this in-depth article, Marjolein Hoekstra explores, reports and illustrates the power of OPML files and their abilities when paired with specific tools.

Specifically (though not in this same exact order):

What are OPML reading lists
OPML examples on the web
OPML history and Dave Winer
FeedShare OPML exchange site
Limitations of OPML reading lists
InoReader and dynamic OPML reading lists
How to create RSS feeds from your own reading lists
How to generate OPML reading lists from your RSS reader
OPML tools and resources
Create a Google custom search engine with an OPML file

The article is a treasure trove of useful information especially for any journalist or researcher in need to continuously and update its news discovery and monitoring abilities.

N.B.: Organization of the content sections in this article is a bit rough, but if you are not in a rush and dig through it, you can easily make sense of it all-

Informative. Insightful. 8/10

Useful as a backup to your regular feed reader (I use Feedly - export as an OPML file) or to share your RSS subcriptions, or to discover, search and explore other interesting RSS feeds by keyword, author or tags or by the most popular: http://www.feedshare.net/popular/ ;

Search it: http://www.feedshare.net/search/ ;

Excellent curation tool.
