Life With A News Reader

18 May 2003

I’ve used SharpReader as a collection point for the RSS feeds I had in my old copy of Radio, Amphetadesk and a brief trial run with Syndirella. Working with these feeds and getting accustomed to viewing ”the news” in a news reader once again, I’ve concluded the following:

  • There ought to be a way to keep RSS subscriptions and blogrolls in sync
  • There ought to be a way to keep track of an individual’s name as well as the weblog name in your news reader and your weblog
  • There ought to be a way to group or prioritize your blogroll and your RSS feeds independently of one another
  • Finally, care has to be exercised when reading and posting from a news reader. It’s easy to value speed of posting and quantity over quality of entries
