I'm connected. Now what?

Another blogger recently brought to my attention this piece by Howard Owens, whoever that is, about the essential tools a journalist must have in the digital age. I'm not a working journalist, per se. About 10 years ago I moved from the newsroom into advertising sales for two main reasons. I was burnt out writing already and the money is in advertising. Nonetheless, I maintain an interest these days in the news industry and how news is made, processed and presented.
Looking at Owens' piece I have implemented almost all of his suggestions except for a few: I still haven't set up a social bookmark, and I'm not exactly sure what that is and I don't have an RSS feed for this blog, and again, I'm not exactly sure what that is. I have a Facebook account and just today I set up my Twitter account.
So now what?
