Some interesting perspectives there folks. Thanks for the comments.

Here we are a few weeks on and I find I’m checking my RSS feeds even less than when I wrote this.

But then, I’ve had an extremely busy few weeks too.

I think Twitter has brevity going for it.

Be good to see how this all shakes out over the next year.

+1 for the Google Reader fans (which is where I read this blog, too!) I do try and read it every day, but for the days I miss there’s always the “Mark all items older than a day” button

@nzlemming I find that “push” type of feeds from blogs bloody annoying. If it’s that good I’ll subscribe. It’s the same with people who feed everything through their Facebook as well. It’s a believe that they have one person and one audience that is naive to put it politely.

Add me to the list of Google Reader fans (which is where I read this blog). Maybe it’s just stand-alone newsreaders that are fading away?

I’m with you. Barely touched NNW since I got on Twitter. I should check it more, or find out whether they have Twitter accounts. I note a couple of blogs that feed their RSS directly to Twitter, and I think that will happen more and more.

I’ve been a long time user of Google reader for RSS feeds, I get most of my news via there and follow sites that interest me. One of the things I like with google reader is that I can search only the RSS feeds. Very useful when I’m looking for something that I’m sure I saw in a feed some time, much better results than plain google searching.

RSS/Atom/JSON are some nice protocols and I think it will be around for a bit.

I’ve been using Google reader heaps since getting iPhone. With that, plus delicious setup for saving links – awesome. Means I actually get around to reading & sharing a variety of stuff that I otherwise wouldn’t.

I still use Google Reader daily. For me it’s not about one thing replacing another but horses for courses
Twitter = stay in touch with “communities”
Google Reader = read thoughtful ideas
Google News = what’s happening out there
Email = personal connectioons with a few
Chat/IM = quick one off comms
Phone = deeper one off comm
Pub = deeper still connections
