私は、ブログのトラフィックに良くないと考えていたため、普段の読者に対してRSS/Atomフィードを利用したり提供したりすることに、あまり信じていませんでした。かつてはこう思っていました：

RSS フィードを利用すると、ブログのページビューが減少する可能性があります。
RSS リーダーは遅延したり更新されなかったりすることがあり、実際には更新したにもかかわらず、ブログが更新されていないという印象を与えることがあります。
RSS フィードからは、AdSense for Feeds やそれに類するものを利用していない限り、いかなる収益も得られません。
RSS を知っている人はあまりおらず、さらに多くの人々が利用しています。
フィードを提供すると、他の悪意のあるブロガーがサイトを容易にスクレイピングできるようになります。以前、私のブログから AdSense 関連の投稿をスクレイピングする例をいくつか見かけたことがあります。
フィードでは、ブログで行った外観の変更は表示されません。視覚的な要素を欠くことで、ブログ体験そのものが損なわれます。

RSS や Atom フィードを使用しない理由については、以前からいくつか述べてきました。その一つは、新しいブログ読書習慣に適応するためです。

この認識は最近になって逆転しました。私が読んでいるすべてのブログを把握し、FeedDemonやNewsgator/Google Readerのようなフィードリーダーを使うことが難しくなっていることに気づきました。これらのツールのおかげで、より多くのブログを読み、カバーする範囲を広げることができました。

以来、私も他の人々にフィードリーダーの使用を推奨しています。私のデスクトップ用はFeedDemonで、ウェブ用はNewsgator/Googleリーダーです。皆様はどのようなものをお使いですか？

Depending on my mood: Bloglines, Newsgator, or Opera.

Thank God for OPML. ;)

I’m using Thunderbird (as client-side RSS aggregator), but it can only read RSS feeds – no Atom. #8 is right, I think it’s better to generate just the summaries instead.

I find Google Reader to be erratic sometimes. Most of the time, I rely on FeedDemon when reading at home and Newsgator when on the move.

Hi Jeff,

Yes, I have Sage installed in my FireFox as well.

I use Bloglines. And as for protecting your content, It’s good to generate article summaries instead of the whole thing.

RSS does drive traffic to your site, too, if used well.

I use a Mozilla Firefox extension called Sage:

It’s light on features but it works well.

Similarly with vern; i love rss feeds. 80% of the time i’m using rss reader(s) in reading my favorite contents (including yugatech).

These are the Readers i’m using. i used to experiment and tried all of them, to find the best reader for me in the given situation and requirements.

1. Google Reader – very simple UI and handy for me while carrying in one hand my 2 months son ;)

2. NetVibes – yet another cool AJAX apps – what i love in Netvibes compare to other RSS readers is I can listen directly to podcast feeds. It got also clean interface similar to Google Personalized and better preview like Start.

3. MS Start Page – huh! this is one of the few MS products i use and can recommend (another one is the MS Antispyware).

3. Google Personalized – well, its Google, yeah! :)

4. Search Fox – an intelligent news reader! it tries to “learn” your favorite topics.

I got also some rss feeds in my.yahoo.com; but not updated and complete compare to the 4 above.

Oh by the way, for those webpages without an existing syndication format you can use FeedTier to create one.

I hope I contribute something here…

I love feeds. I’ve been reading strictly from feeds for such a long time now. I only visit the pages that have content I want to see. I don’t mind seeing ads on them either.

It is also great to make your data portable to other data sites. There are tons of search engines out there that especialize on feeds and only feeds. Plus there are feeds for almost every site imaginable out there, from blogs to P2P.

Me, too. I used to visit each and every blog. Then it came to a point that reading more than 20 blogs a day just won’t cut it. I use netvibes for web and I’m playing with the one that’s integrated with Flock.

I used to be like you, I didn’t like RSS too much, and wanted to encourage people to come to my blog to read it. Now however, after realizing like you, I don’t have time to follow each of the blogs I like, I use readers. I even made my WP theme to incorporate the RSS button right at the top, up front, and in each article, showing the comment feed too. Now I use bloglines.

Pau · 21 years ago

I just recently switched from Bloglines to Google Reader, and I’m kind of regretting it now. Google Reader is still really rough around the edges, doesn’t have a “Mark All as Read” function, and the JS-driven animated interface rubs me the wrong way. Still, I like the feed organization structure, so I’m trying to make tiis with it while they improve.

I actually use the one that came with Google Desktop. Not a very feature rich RSS reader but I like to avoid clutter and Google Desktop had most of the things I needed. :)
