I probably gave up on using a feed reader about then. Instead, I subscribe a few things I care about by email, and hear about some things passively through social media.
The idea is that I can't keep with via email, I don't have time for it. For a while, I used "feed to email" for the services that didn't offer an email subscription, but I've since let that go.
Now I feel like I don't have time for "one more place for news" to add back a feed reader into the mix.
But I'm open to being convinced I should give Feedly or something else a try!
