I started heavily using Feeder for #RSS feeds a couple of years ago. Prior to that I had used RSS but stopped for some reason. Feeder has become one of the top apps I use on my phone, according to Android. I spend at least an hour a day in Feeder. RSS lets me selectively consume news from sources I choose to follow. Instead of manually traveling to 50 news websites a day, or subjecting myself to Google News, I just check my RSS feeds whenever I want news.
I also follow bloggers whose opinions I care about, but who post infrequently. I don't have to manually go to their website to check on them. When they post, Feeder lets me know
If a site doesn't offer an RSS feed, screw 'em. I just don't follow them.
RSS is empowering. Some feeds suck but those get pruned out, and better feeds take their place.
RSS is such a useful and proven thing. It blows my mind that more people around me simply don't know about it or don't use it.
