RSS: A good idea at the time but there are better ways now
The Google Reader team posted a blog entry today with some results of a survey it conducted. The team wanted to know what an elite group of “Power Readers” were reading online - presumably using their Google Reader account - and so they asked them and have highlighted some suggested reading on the site.
It’s an interesting little post for those who are interested in these power readers and what interests them - but what struck me was the attempt that company made to bring get people interested in Google Reader again.
Once a big advocate for Google Reader, I have to admit that I haven’t logged in in weeks, maybe months. That’s not to say I’m not reading. Sometimes I feel like reading - and writing this blog - are the only things I do. But my sources of for reading material are scattered across the Web, not in one aggregated spot.
