This sort of biases the audience, don’t you think?

I may be controversial here but I think that RSS feeds can be irrelevant to a lot of users, where as Social Networks can offer more informed content as there is more control over the content.

Just my thought, but great article nonetheless. – thanks.

I stopped using RSS feeds a good while back after I came up with a process that works well for me using twitter and Hootsuite. In short, I skim twitter lists that I prioritize left to right in Hootsuite. I also use searches to further refine what I’m looking for. You can use other twitter clients to accomplish something similar. I describe the setup here: http://bit.ly/oA4N6n

Yeah… I didnt like RSS feeds/aggregators at first because there were SO many RSS feeds out there & I didn’t want to search for them all. I use pulssr.com as my rss reader because I just subscribe to topics that I’m interested in & Pulssr pulls news from a whole bunch of sources, but only shows me stories that have to do with the topics that I choose. It’s pretty awesome, I’d definitely recommend it.

What kind of web publishing system does not have created_at and updated_at dates on their articles? Yours! And its a shame. Especially on articles such as this.

I definately still think there’s a place for RSS feeds as a lot of social networking content is spammy and RSS feeds seem much more professional. I use Google Reader too and it keeps everything more organised too which saves me a lot of time!

I use Netvibes. I have it set up with categories. Saves time wading from website to website. Besides, there is so much information to keep track of that I’d forget lots of sites if they weren’t centralized w/ Netvibes. Google Reader and other RSS gatherers are okay, but I like to switch themes, etc., which is much more fun w/ Netvibes.

Deleted them all…they became redundant with Twitter!

I used to use My Yahoo! then Netvibes and now Google Reader. I’ve been actively using RSS for years and has only increased. To me RSS is one of the best things about the internet.

Spotify and social bookmarking are not bad too!

I definitely still use Google Reader, I love having a one-stop location where I can look through the blogs I enjoy reading. Definitely more convenient than getting daily emails from several blogs. I must admit, however, that sometimes I forget to check it and then end up with a ton of unread posts and it’s a little overwhelming. I’ve been trying to check daily these days.
