How many of you guys use the RSS feeds ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_feed )? What feed reader do you use?

I use Google Reader ( http://www.google.com/reader/ ).

Do you have any requests/suggestions as to how to better offer content via RSS?


Here are the feeds if you want to subscribe:

Front Page News RSS: http://feeds.wrongplanet.net/aspergers
Forums RSS: http://feeds.wrongplanet.net/asperger

Hi Alex,

I use google reader, it's pretty good and works on the blackberry too.

I only started using the feeds because I wanted to make sure I didn't miss new topics. I don't need a feed for every post.

Sometimes I think I'm getting that because there's a lot of feeds.

Actually, I'd prefer a daily email containing a list and links to all NEW THREADS/TOPICS.

Other than that, WP is a technically brilliant site.

I'm trying to get more people to use the feeds we offer because I think they're a great way to stay up to date with WP.

^ what?


I've used the RSS on my cellphone, but it's offensively expensive down here to browse from your cellphone, so I haven't used it.

I don't use my own computer. Can I get an rss feed to my google hompage?

Also, have to say, besides being otherwise awesome, I think it is a very well designed, usable forum--unusually so. Thanks for the great work.
