Yes. Quickest and less distraction by ads, comments, images ... so I could scan 70+ sources per day.
You beat me by 10. Care to share some of the less popular sources you consume?

#32Yes and I'd prefer it if more websites offered it as a way to read their content or at least subscribe to their blogs for updates. Being able to set up alerts to match certain keywords allows me to more actively consume their media and tends towards me actually supporting the continuation of their site because I noticeably consume and care for their media because I know it is there.
