Wanna Know How To Read RSS Feeds?
May 25th, 2007 by Matthew Jabs
If you’re like me, you may be totally confused by which RSS reader to use. Online, offline, inline, out-of-line? Who knows?
Well I’m glad you asked, because I know just the guy who can help us with this modern day dilemma!
a lot of you RSS guru’s out there!
While I don’t use RSS a lot right now, I know that I will more in the future, and so will everyone else…so we might as well learn what they’re all about & how to use them!
Thanks K-IntheHouse.

I just posted a review of Omea Reader, which is excellent! Check it out if you like RSS clients: http://maximillianx.blogspot.com/2007/05/newsgroup-reader-rss-aggregator.html
Thanks Rob.
Personally, I favor Pageflakes. I can create as many pages of “flakes” as I want. Rolling over the headlines gives me a brief blurb of what the post is about and if it interests me, I click to the site of origin.
I do a lot of feed reading, however before i didnt. now i have so many blogs like yours that i keep track of its hard to “visit” each everyday

I do plan an article to your comment as to why we display a feedcount now
Google reader for me. I actually prefer newsgator online in terms of looks and functionality but found myself naturally coming back to google reader - it just works and it seems to be faster. I usually will click through to the actual webpage though for many of the blogs I read everyday.
You know…
I think I’m going to start using my reader more just for that point (it’s too hard to keep track of all the blogs I read).
Also, as coach said…if I want to go visit the site I can, but is there a better way to ensure you’ve read all your favorite blogs each day? I can’t think of anything better than an RSS feed reader to keep you on your toes.
I’ll be adopting new RSS policies after writing this, seeing the responses, and really thinking about the said comments.
And you better believe I’ll be writing a blog post about this very thing!
Damn, am I the only one who uses Kinja.com?
Matt.. thanks for the link! I used to surf to the websites from bookmarks too. But, RSS feeds lets me power surf. Even though I love and write a lot about Google products, I prefer Netvibes over Google Reader to read them online.
RSS clients lets me read stuff offline and tag, label for future action and makes it a GTD tool for blogging. I still go back forth between the web service and the client.
