#192I used to use Google Reader, but I found that I missed seeing the original site and that I couldn't easily filter out stories I didn't want to read. So I built NewsBlur -- http://www.newsblur.com . It's open-source and I'd love if more folks followed my development: http://github.com/samuelclay . It's been a weekend project but it's been a wild ride so far. One of my main goals is to have much of the functionality of…
Woo, it looks awesome

#193If Reeder for iPad is considered as using Google Reader, then yes, daily. This is without a doubt my most used iPad app and very essential for my daily routine.

#194I self host a copy of rnews http://rnews.sourceforge.net/ which I've hacked up to do a heap of extra things, such as tweet links which I click on (I use this as a simple history system).
I was never a fan of the g.reader layout and toyed with a boxed layout on an igoogle page similar to what I have set up in my rnews system but it felt clunky.

#195I have never been able to get RSS to work for me - I'd always subscribe to a bunch of feeds, then they'd pile up into hundreds of unread posts, and then I'd just go numb to it and end up visiting the site itself like I did before. But now, Twitter has filled this hole for me - most every site or writer of significance has a Twitter feed, and it's easy to follow them. I don't feel obligated to read down this huge stac…
Exactly. With RSS i never got into the habit of checking it consistently because there was just too much stuff i did not care about so quickly i dismissed it.
With twitter i follow great people from all the areas i am interested in and they usually have very interesting stuff to say and share. So if something is interesting i will just email it to me.
I have tried Instapaper to save interesting stuff for later reads but then i have the same problem of not checking it again after some time because i dont have much time to check it and the stuff piles up. With emails i need to get my inbox clean and will check the article and then eventually save it to Instapaper if its long or worth a reread.

Also, while we're talking rss.... yahoo pipes is brilliant. I use it to mash up a whole stack of feeds and convert pages which don't have rss into rss.
Anyone who uses rss and hasn't messed with pipes is missing out on a whole heap of awesome.

#199I used to go through cycles reading RSS feeds and declaring RSS bankruptcy, but I've given up. I need a priority queue RSS reader. Show me the N most "important" posts across all my feeds since I last visited. Importance would be calculated a number of ways: * Prioritize posts from low volume feeds. I probably want to see every post from a friend who blogs once a month, but not every post from Engadget. * Most favori…
NewsBlur (big comment thread above) does this to some degree at least.
