Most of the web content I consume goes through my RSS reader (this includes stuff like HN, proggit, xkcd, Delicious subscriptions,...). The only exceptions are Gmail and forums without decent RSS support.

After logging in I open up twitter and search.twitter to see if anyone has been talking to/about me. Then Gmail, HN. After that I get to work or open up NewsFire (RSS Reader).

First thing is Google reader, everything I read on a daily basis I get through rss, then I ssh into my server and open mutt, after that I'll check twitter.

Every day: Work email, Gmail, Google Reader, HN, and FriendFeed. If I have spare time: Reddit, Friendfeed, Techmeme, Twitter.

I also subscribe to a lot of mailing lists that I have a filter set up to automatically label and skip inbox on, that generates a couple thousand extra emails a day that I skim through and read 1% of.

My home page is iGoogle, but instead of reading the stories in the built-in RSS, I always click through to the various sites (Digg, TC, HN, CNN, BBC, etc). No idea why.

I do as well. I like to see the article the way the author posted it and read the comments.
