| Mar 22, 2011 at 16:22 | comment | added | Paul D. Waite | @Cawas: oh yeah, it only works because I tend to read sites that either post little links to other sites where I can quickly decide if I want to read it or not, or that post reasonably infrequent longer articles that I always want to read. (Daring Fireball is the prime example of this.) If I don’t want to read most of what a site publishes, I don’t subscribe to it. RSS isn’t about news for me, it’s about things I’m interested in. | |

| Mar 22, 2011 at 15:58 | comment | added | cregox | Indeed it doesn't. It looks like Instapaper is basically the same thing. And I see where your urge from doing that comes from. I've tried doing the same with RSS readers, including google's, but I could never keep on. One day was enough for late news and way too much crap. I assume if you have a good list of RSS it might work, but I decided to just reach for other means. When I want to read news, I google for them, read around anywhere. And I get some feeds on email. That's about it. So, I keep my vote up (not like I could easily remove it anyway) and my wish to you for good luck! :P | |
| Mar 22, 2011 at 14:10 | comment | added | Paul D. Waite | @Cawas: I’ve not (I’m on Instapaper), but my use case for my RSS reader is: “Show me every new thing posted on this set of websites, and let me mark it as read once I’ve read it.” I assumed readitlater, like Instapaper, doesn’t do that. | |
| Mar 22, 2011 at 12:51 | comment | added | cregox | What I mean is that there are other ways to read news and keep updated. Have you tried, for instance, readitlater? | |
| Mar 22, 2011 at 9:45 | comment | added | Paul D. Waite | @Cawas: sure, I’m not necessarily saying Google Reader’s wrong or rubbish here (it’s a free service after all), just that it doesn’t fit my usage pattern well. Just because something’s on RSS doesn’t mean it’s news though. | |
| Mar 21, 2011 at 10:52 | comment | added | cregox | I don't really want to defend g reader's nonsensical behavior, but I would seriously consider news article older than a month old enough to not be news anymore. If it were 1 year I'm sure every one who isn't a monk would agree with me. | |
