Advantages of RSS over bookmarking

I think that RSS feeds are much better than simply bookmarking. Firstly, if you are bookmarking using the "Favorites" on your computer, you can only access the bookmarks from that computer only. Secondly, there are more steps (clicks) involved in bookmarking. You have to "go" to each bookmarked site. In RSS feeds, your "bookmarks" are brought to you in one area and updates are noted. You do not have to waste time finding out if the blog you bookmarked has new posts.
When I searched for my 3 blogs on Google Blog Search, I was overwhelmed with the results. There were many results that were job listings. I found it better to use the Advanced tab to narrow the results.
