RSS seemed like to much trouble for nothing to me. I guess I don't have enough interest in having 50 feeds delivered to me everyday. Who needs it. I find the info I need just fine now. |

| I felt the same was as you, but a guy at work installed an RSS reader on my PC and it truthfully has been ok. It nice to look in one place at the articles that I would normally had visited 1/2 dozen seperate web sites for.
It seems I spend less time looking at the quick little summaries than I did when I scanned through the larger articles.
YMMV

Yawn.
I ignored it when microsoft introduced "active desktop" and "channels". I'll ignore it again, now that it's called something else. Why am I even typing this? Time to go check some news sites. |

| I gotta say -- using an RSS reader is great to keep up on the news and cool tech stuff. It's worth it to check out -- SharpReader (www.sharpreader.net) is what I use (free), and it's a lot better than going to multiple websites to check the headlines. The headlines show up in the aggregator, and you can scan through them for the ones you want to read. Try it, you'll like it (and all of your friends are doing it..  |

Re: Yippe! I guess
setting up an rss reader is pretty simple. there are countless programs out there where you just enter the url and it will do all the rest.
i think it's great, especially for on-the-go. me as a webmaster, i just recently started to allow my visitors the ability to filter what content they want.. different catgories, how much content they want, etc..

1 edit | RSS rawks!
Here are two uses for RSS; both of which come in handy. I have a plug-in for Trillian that I've set up to read some RSS feeds from the forums here(BBR). I also use it on my clans website (»bbwolfcorps.com ).

I just go to google news for my quick news. Other news sites require log-ins and many of them have too much elements (huge menus, too much graphics, advertisements) for a fast viewing and news comsumption. Heck, I might try RSS reader right now. |

What's the patch that you use for Trillian?
And does anyone know if there is a reader that shows like a tickertape, that I could import in to HTML? (active desktop) |

|  RSS-XML for Linux/apache
Since I came across this I have been scouring the web for an easy way to have apache serve xml feeds that I receive.
I found Amphetadesk but not much more and seems like alot of work involved.
Anyone else doing this with apache have a recommendation? |

I'm with the editors. Daily Rotation beats all the desktop readers and website news aggregators. You can be very lazy and very well informed. No login needed, no registration, very very easy configuration, and it just gathers all the tech news you'll ever want. You can spend hours reading what it offers on just one page. |

Re: Yippe! I guess
I know what you mean. I used to go to around 15 deal sites a day. That got pretty tiring, so I usually unded up going to my 3-4 favorite ones regularly.
Now that I found dealsites, I only need to go to one site.
