“Anyone weary of black-box algorithms controlling what you see online at least has a respite, one that’s been there all along but has often gone ignored.” At Wired, Brian Barrett votes for RSS.
I’ll add a suggestion: if you follow a blog in RSS, click through and say something every now and then. Hint, hint.

ReplyDeleteThank you for all the great posts!

I've used Feedly since Google Reader died. I find it a bit clunky to organize but I refer to it several times a day. I'd feel almost naked without RSS.
ReplyDeleteJosh and Chris, hello. If I believed in enamel pins, I’d want one of those. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen Google Reader disappeared, I tried for a while to visit sites regularly but finally went back to the convenience of RSS (The Old Reader).
After Google Reader's demise, I also tried to deliberately visit sites but fell behind on many. (Maybe not such a bad thing!)
ReplyDeleteI now use a service called Blogtrottr to subscribe to a few sites via email; I'm slightly better at managing email than I am large numbers of feeds. The presentation of the material is not the best, but it's free, and good enough for my needs.
The other thing I do is subscribe to a site's weekly newsletter if they have one. It's another way for the posts to come to my inbox.
I'm here via Bazqux. Before that, Google Reader. Before that, Bloglines.
ReplyDeleteHow long have you been blogging (and I've been subscribing)?
Mike, I didn’t know it was possible to get posts in e-mail form via an outside service. I will have to look into that.
ReplyDeleteRobert, I lost track of aworks but am adding it to my RSS. I’ve been at it since September 15, 2004.
Hello from RSS
