Google Reader is definitely easy to use, just like Gmail, which is another Google product I use a lot (yes, as well as that search one).
And while I know that with each of Gmail and Google Reader, there is a very rational system used for organising and displaying the information, I don’t find it as […]
The Bloglines feed reader used to be my reader of choice.
I haven’t been using Bloglines for a while now, since discovering the two readers reviewed so far in this series, NewsGator Online and BlogBridge. I don’t recall actually doing a detailed comparison, but one disincentive for not continuing to use Bloglines was that for […]
BlogBridge offers itself as more than a feed aggregator, styling itself as “the ultimate info-junkie system”.
BlogBridge project leader Pito Salas and his team describe themselves as “a bunch of entrepreneurs / enthusiasts who enjoy living at the edge of technology and social behavior.”
Unlike some other popular feed readers, such as NewsGator Online which was reviewed […]
In this short series on my five favorite news readers, I’m listing NewsGator Online first, not because it’s my daily default reader, which it isn’t, but because it is:

Lee LeFever has provided a very neat explanation of RSS, with pictures, in his Video: RSS in Plain English.
Elegant and entertaining.
He gives some examples of readers. I would be adding BlogBridge.
This video link is one to send to your friend or family member who could benefit from RSS, especially if his or her eyes glazed […]

The event is billed as: Search as the next interface - a conversation with John Battelle.
John Battelle is an entrepreneur, journalist, professor, author and currently founder and chairman of Federated Media Publishing. He writes lucidly, […]
From time to time I notice in one of my RSS feed readers a post or two on the general topic of full feeds vs. excerpts. It’s been on my list of Things I Must Get Around to Understanding Better.
Some bloggers like to syndicate only a partial feed, or excerpt, not the whole article or […]
RSS, webfeeds, syndication - very important concepts to understand for maximizing the reach and effectiveness of any blog.
So it’s good that in the Technology channel on our b5media network we have a blog dedicated to helping the rest of us understand what’s what in the world of feed - see A Feed is Born.
One slight […]
In conversations with a number of business owners who are thinking about blogging, I usually reach a point fairly quickly where, if the conversation is going to progress, I need to explain syndication or RSS.
Here’s what I’ve done to date.
I generally explain syndication first by referring to something people are familiar with offline - syndicated […]
While people in the SEO or SEM business might understand that blogs can help attract search engine generated online traffic, my experience - admittedly with the small business sector, things may be different at the big end of town - is that many business owners don’t get the connection between blogs and SEO and are missing […]
