There are three ways of keeping track of the important information in your Favorite Applications.
RSS
Many Applications have been RSS enabled by their owners, allowing you to subscribe to a Application's feed with your feed reader. New Posts in Applications to which you've subscribed will show up in your reader.
Application owners can enable the RSS feed from the "Advanced Settings" under a Application's Settings tab. Readers may subscribe via RSS to a RSS-enabled Application by clicking on the RSS icon ( 
) in the Application title bar.
Email Subscriptions
Community Members can receive emails when new content is added to the Applications and Posts to which they have subscribed. Click on the mail icons ( 
) throughout the application to access and control your subscriptions.
My Favorites
Members can also mark Applications and Posts as "Favorites" by clicking on the favorite icons ( 
) throughout the application. New Comments and Posts in marked spaces show up on a member's Favorites page, accessed from the top navigation bar.
Comments
Hi. Is there a way for one member to recommend to another member that they subscribe to a particular RSS feed? I'm just wondering how to ratchet up the viral part across our community.

No, not currently, though this is a good feature suggestion. We would likely generalize this as "recommendations" - of which RSS, Favorites, etc. would be a sub-set.
Another (implicit) way at a similar need could be to further expose the activity of those who are closer to you. So if my network of folks is consitently active in a particular area, it could be brought to my attention by the application.
