Real Simple, Stupid

RSS & Newsreaders

As with my other ventures into these new technologies, I am left a little behind. I did set myself up on Bloglines with some RSS feeds more than a month ago, and now writing up my account and personal evaluation of my RSS experience, I realise that I didn't really select the best of feeds.
After nearly six weeks, the four feeders that I chose have only returned a few posts between them. That is without newspaper feeds from the subcontinent (quite prolific, that one).
I was happy to receive a couple of podcasts through the feeds, but after opening the feed folder just once and trying to access the podcasts again later, they are nowhere to be found and I didn't even have a chance to listen to them. Sigh.
All I could do was re-up to the podcast page of original website I subscribed to, which sort of defeats the purpose of the feed, doesn't it?
