Ask HN: How do you read RSS feeds?

3 points·Herring··8 comments

What RSS reader do you use? What features do you like, or want from it? How many feeds are you subscribed to? How do you read them: Skim all posts? Read everything? etc

Google Reader. I try to keep my feeds clean, skimming over headlines and marking content I do not want to read as read. Then, I actually read the rest of the posts.

Feed Sidebar in Firefox, subscribed to about 150 feeds.

I use Google Reader to keep track of approximately 300 feeds. These days I mostly only read everything during the weekends. This way I avoid procrastinating during weekdays.

I use google reader, I subscribe to around 200 feeds. I keep trying to cull them -- but I just miss those few blogs.

I'd say about 5% of the feeds I get interest me.

I subscribe to anything interesting and then unsubscribe from everything that has too many posts and/or proves to be too boring :)

bloglines beta. I quite like the navigation and the feed handling behavior.

However, I wish they would give more customization and the feed aggregator break less often.

However, of late, it is become more and more sucky and I plan to move away from it sometime soon

I use Google Reader. I skim the headlines and read what I find interesting in full.

call me old fashioned, but I still use my browser to view RSS. I skim the headlines as a live bookmark and go to the actual post if interested.
