how do you read

How do you all read this blog? Do you read it in a browser or  a feed reader. Does your feed reader show the HTML or the syndicated content?  I'm going to be making some changes to the site and I want to do as little disruption as possible. Please let me know in the comments how you consume this site. Thanks.

reactions, thoughts, comments, etc.

Wizz RSS News Reader tells me when you've updated your blog, then I click on the links to open them in new tabs, so I'm reading this specific page of the blog as if I'd navigated here in Firefox, I was just pointed here by my feed reader.

I'm a techie but I only will use feeds more regularly when SeaMonkey got a reader ;).

Nothin' but feeds. Well, except now. Can't post replies from Google Reader... yet.

Posted by: Shog9 | March 23, 2007 7:40 PM

I use FeedReader to stay updated, but I tend to read the actual posts in Firefox.

Posted by: olextraplus | March 23, 2007 11:25 PM

Bloglines. Simple is best.

Posted by: Channy | March 23, 2007 11:36 PM

Thunderbird 2. I like getting individual posts rather than links into a single HTML page with a bunch of posts. I unsubscribed from Doc Searls and several other blogs recently because their software thinks that an HTML page is the same as a feed item. I hate having to reload the same page to read each item in the feed.

Sometimes switch to Firefox when I'm interested in the 'whole picture'.

Thunderbird. But then I realise that it doesn't show comments and click the link to your page anyway.

Posted by: Ben Basson | March 24, 2007 6:24 AM

Feeds all the time via Firefox Live Bookmarks or the web feed extension I'm using at the time. Currently: Sage.

Posted by: Christofer | March 24, 2007 6:43 AM

I use Sage (syndicated content viewed as a summary)

I didn't think, so many people would use a web page to update feeds, to me this sounds weird and circular, because you first have to got to the address bar, enter the page, then log in and finally you're there. I just open Sage from the toolbar and click on "refresh".

Posted by: Robert Morris | March 24, 2007 8:40 AM

Opera's email client for notification, but I usually take interest in the comments so I'll generally open up the full page.

Posted by: BtEO | March 24, 2007 8:47 AM

I use Akregator, the feed reader that comes with KDE (which is kind of odd, since I use the Gnome desktop, but then I always seem to end up mixing and matching). It renders the minimal HTML that's encoded in the RSS feed. When I want to read comments or respond, I open it in a browser.

I use Firefox and normally I get to your blog through the good old Blogupdates (which is like planet.mozilla.org but with more diversity): http://gemal.dk/mozilla/blogupdates.html.

Once upon a time, your blog was actually very pretty to look at, then you decided to strip it from basically all CSS for some reason. I'm glad to see that you've added a bit of styling to the pages again! :)

Posted by: David Tenser | March 25, 2007 3:31 AM

Using a Feed Reader RSSOwl

Posted by: Alvaro | March 26, 2007 4:25 AM

Thunderbird, ever since using news-groups in Thunderbird (and Netscape before that), RSS "news" feeds seemed most appropriate there.

I'll read the article in T-Bird, and if interesting... I'll follow up online (Firefox) to read any truncated parts, and or comments.

As for the format, I usually limit the feed to non-HTML... not because I don't want the HTML (I love a multimedia experience), but I find blog posts stuffed with ads to be real annoying. (again, coming from a newsgroup background, ads were never part of newsgroups, thus they seem like a real invasion in my RSS feeds)

(PS Adblock(/Plus) is the first extension I install after installing Firefox)

Viewed in browser (either Firefox or Seamonkey depending which PC I'm on).

But use Bloglines (monitoring Mozillazine feedhouse) to know when there's new items (then just Ctrl-Click or Middle-Click my way down the list to view the actual item pages in browser tabs).
