What is your RSS reader?
nfnaaron: HN is my RSS reader.I don't have time to check all the feeds that have potentially interesting (for me) content, and then browse each feed for actually interesting articles.There is no way I can discover any significant portion of new interesting feeds, and following a large number of feeds in a reader would make that even worse.As I told a friend recently, I don't follow blogs anymore, I read HN and let other interesting people lead me to interesting content. The HN comments for articles are always much more useful than the articles' local comments.That said, I do use the Brief reader, a Firefox plugin. If I find something extra interesting on HN, I will add it to Brief and follow it for awhile. Almost nothing is spongeworthy enough to stay in Brief more than a month or two.In Brief I currently have:
- HN (sometimes I read it there, sometimes directly)
- one local news feed
- the feed for the Denver Post obituaries (they write interesting stories)
- a feed from CrossFit
- about five feeds of steadily diminishing spongeworthiness
