- wheels 18y agoWell, the current feed is basically invalid. It's not structured the way RSS feeds are supposed to be, and I'd consider breaking the Twitter bot better than breaking all newsreaders. I've at least tested in Mail.app and Thunderbird and I've heard the same for Google's reader. I'm a really heavy RSS user and news.yc is basically the only news site I frequent where the feed is not usable. If I were reading via RSS that'd also open up some options for filtering with Yahoo Pipes, which I do with a lot of my RSS feeds, since I'm not particularly interested in the mainstream stories that hit news.yc (NYT, BBC, Slate, Salon, et al)
