I decided I would turn Twitter into an RSS aggregator. I was inspired by Chrissy LeMaire’s ( blog| twitter) tweetbot where her bot tweets when Connect items are closed as fixed. Twitter isn’t working for me, but rather than jumping ship, I want to make it better. Twitter isn’t good enough, so I decided twitter was the answer.

(I know, I was pretty shocked to find out about this, too.) Or sometimes, I want to read someone’s blog without having to actually follow them. I miss stuff that I want to see.Īnother problem is that not everyone is on twitter. My feed is filled with dog pictures, politics, dumb jokes, random conversation….oh, and SQL blogs. I only read a fraction of what gets posted. One problem with twitter is that my feed moves fast. They tweet blog posts from others that are interesting. I follow people on twitter that I want to hear from. If you know me, this won’t be a surprise. How I find read blogs today, and why that’s not good enough When I have to go hunt for blogs to read, I tend to not do it. I need blogs to be organized in a way that they are right in my face. Its actually quite simple: I can’t be bothered to deal with yet another single-purpose app. Its time to find a solution that really works.īefore I can find something that works, I need to think about Why RSS readers don’t work for me Its time to stop doing the same thing over and over again, hoping it will work this time. Come up with a list of blogs that I like to read.

Dig through reviews to find an app that I think I will love.For some reason, about once a year, I go hunting for a new RSS reader so I can keep track of blogs that I like to read.
