> People in here talking about relying on RSS, what software do you even use it with? While I wouldn't say I rely on RSS, I use Feedly [1] as my RSS reader on Android & sometimes through the browser. I think Feedly are the biggest player in the space now that Google Reader is gone, but they have lots of competitors. On the Mac, I tend to use Reeder [2] as my desktop client, though I hear NetNewsWire [3] is being rewritten & re-released soon. A few years ago I did some work with a law firm that used RSS to keep up with what's new in their field, and they wanted me to develop RSS feeds for sites that didn't provide one. Instead of visiting dozens of websites every morning to check for updates (and delegating that task to an assistant), RSS brings all the latest news in one place they can check each morning. A pro/commercial reader like Feedly also provides highlighting & note-taking functions, so you can highlight/quote important paragraphs in an article & keep them in a searchable database, together with your own annotations.
