Why use RSS for macosxhints.com?
I'm actually surprised that so many (apparently at least 50%) people use RSS for this page. In my opinion, using RSS makes the most sense when a page is either updated irregularly or if new articles are added in a piecemeal fashion. Neither is true for macosxhints.com, pretty much all the articles are posted within a narrow time window early every weekday morning. So if you come to the page for instance at noon, you can read all the hints of the day and there is little chance that further hints are added over the course of the day.

I'd probably never remember to check this page if it wasn't in my Safari RSS feeds folder in my bookmarks bar!
RSS, Why?
I don't "get it" why people think RSS is so cool. It's useless. The sites that have RSS are bookmarked in my Safari. For example, I have one called "Mac news" in my bookmarks bar. I click on it and select "open in tabs" to view all of them.
RSS, Why?
If you use NetNewsWire, you to scan hundreds of headlines in a few minutes; skip slow loading web pages (containing irrelevant info) and skip thousands of ads. So RSS is for people who want pure content quickly. If you use Safari for RSS - I'm not sure what the point is really.
RSS, Why?
I find that Bloglines is a great way to do this. It is all web-based, so I can check my feeds from home on my Mac in the morning and then from work on my PC (yuk!) during lunch, and all of the article statuses are maintained/updated. check it out...
Why use RSS for macosxhints.com?
It's quicker for me to scan the feed for this site (and many others) and only open articles I'm interested in (typically with Safari or NNW tabs), when their titles are informative enough to make that choice (which is true here). |
