Online Feed Readers Reviewed

Posted by: Aaron Brazell

If you’re like me, you regularly read gobs of blogs. If you’re like me in that regard (and you should be!), you have tapped into the power of feed readers. Almost universally, blogs provide syndicated feeds of content and when a new entry is posted, people who have subscribed to the feed are notified and presented with the new content in their feed readers.

This is very mystical sounding, but usually all it takes is telling the feed reader which site you want to subscribe to and it goes and figures out what the feed is. This is autodiscovery but is the topic of another conversation.

Thanks to Darren’s entry, I found this comparison of 9 different web based feed readers. Personally I use Bloglines but there are other flavors of readers each with their own features and selling points.

Check it out.

        Twitter Pitch!

        <p>Twitter pitching is a form of pitch that requires succint "what does this mean for me" kind of pitching. It is the ultimate efficiency of words. You have 140 characters or less to tell me why your pitch matters to me or my readers. Please include a means of contacting you. This is included in your 140 characters. If you send successive pitches, you will likely be ignored, unless it's obvious that the first pitch was a case of "accidental send", etc.</p> <p>This form of pitching does not mean I'm being a diva. It means that my time is valuable, and you want a piece of it. It's good practice for you, and delivers your pitch in a format I want. Win-win.</p>
