Am I really the only one who still goes to all of my favorite sites to read articles rather than having them in a feed? I had tried several times to see what all the fuss was about with Google Reader, and I just didn't get the enjoyment out of the presentation there compared to the sites themselves.
- arafalov 13y agoDepends on use case. If you have websites that only publish every couple of weeks (or several times a year), you want some sort of subscription to not miss what they have to say (e.g. new version announcement).
- heywire 13y agoGood point, that is not something I had thought about.
- jdewald 13y ago> "...enjoyment out of the presentation..." I think you nailed it there. I don't really care about the site presentation, just the content. It's interesting when the content that I'm reading in my feed reader mentions the "new design... working out the quirks" which obviously doesn't translate to the version that is on the reader. I'm also lazy though... and often can't be bothered to even click on the "read more" when only the brief summary is contained in the syndicated version.
- icebraining 13y agoWell, one of the selling points of NewsBlur is showing the content with the design of the original site. That said, most of my feeds use bland or generic themes. I really just care about their content.
