Don't subscribe to feeds! Several years ago I subscribed to bloglines cause so many of my blog buddies assured me I would love it. Well guess what? Being the anal-retentive control freak I am, I soon discovered that bloglines did not update the second my selected 'favorite' blogs updated. That turned me off right there. The thought that I might be 'missing out' on something, even if only be a half hour or so. Bringing this comment back to feeds. Let's say that all feed providers vanished. What would you do? You'd go back to reading your favorites and clicking on the links one by one. Could you possibly read all the blogs you previously had on your feed. Maybe. Maybe not. Does it really matter?? If something/someone/some blog is important enough to you, you will find time to fit it into your schedule. My 2 cents, fwiw. There is a solution and it is pretty simple. Don’t subscribe to feeds!
