The title I’ve give this post is the subject line from the mailing list Rands has set up. Since the death of Google Reader a few months ago, and despite the fact that I set up my own aggregator and native client pair, having a busy work and home life means that aggregators as a separate port of call just don’t get a look in...

At work we’re putting together a wiki page which lists which feeds we should probably all be subscribed to. This mirrors the increasing amount of RSS we’re creating both in the team and across the University as a whole.

Kinja is the web aggregator everyone forgot. When I go somewhere without my computer and I want to check up on my feeds, I don’t log into my Bloglines page, I load my Kinja page. Not only is it incredibly simple (in fact so simple that at first I didn’t get what...
