Aggregators
I don’t use an aggregator. That’s a shameful confession, I know, and I should explain myself. I’ve tried aggregators, both online and client side - from BlogLines to SharpReader, from Google reader to Radio Userland - and I find them to be a pain in the backside. Managing lists, maintaining subscriptions, that’s the easy part. I’m an information junkie and I have invariably signed up for more than I can read. My email inbox tells me something about that undisciplined habit, that lack of organization.
Today I finally had it revealed, or perhaps more slammed in my face than "revealed," anyway… when I went to check on Tom Matrullo to see if he had any Wilma rants brewing, I saw that he has been writing up a storm lately and I’ve been missing it. The trick to using an aggregator perhaps, is not subscribing to more than I care to read. If I subscribed to Tom’s Improprieties… wait… I don’t think I’ll go there right now.
