Do you read blogs via RSS?
Personally I tried using RSS readers and follow up with the news and blogs via RSS. For me, I couldn’t keep up with RSS subscription, some of the reasons include what Mani from Blogging Tips has blogged.
Here’s the list of RSS readers I tried using:
- Google Reader
- Liferea
- SharpReader
- Opera
- Thunderbird
If you are reading blog via RSS, you lose the personal touch/feeling that the author has put into his blog. I believe blog is popular because of this personality unlike news portals. So when you are reading blog posts via RSS you kinda miss that thing.
Although, I agree that follow up with 50 or more blogs on a daily basis is a tough thing, I think partially RSS readers would help a lot. But again, if you are reading blog posts from RSS – get out of the standard RSS layout and further more go online and leave comments on the posts!
Update:
My appologies to Kevin and Mani from Blogging Tips, I had no bad intention.
Personally, Blogging Tips is one of my top reading blog. I respect Kevin and other authors’ contributions and I do learn a lot from them. Thank you for keeping up a great blog!
And I am really sorry for my unacceptable mistake. I will try to be more careful next time.

First of all I think you should pay attention next time you refer to someones post.
I did not call anyone a loser. The post was written by Mani Karthik. Regular readers of my blog already know I use a newsreader every day. Whilst I appreciate that the post was published on the blog I run, I do not want another blogger to print something like ‘Kevin thinks you are a loser’ because nothing can be further from the truth.
Secondly, I think it’s clear when you read the post that the title of the post was written tongue in cheek. Mani adds a smilie in the post and states that the title was just to grab readers attention

Kevin, please accept my apologies. I didn’t mean to say that, I wanted to note a great post which describes what I feel and follow up with the humor.
