The RSS Hookup

RSS is a type of push technology that I believe is extremely valuable, but in which I rarely use. I was an early adopter of using RSS Readers, using FireFox's Add-on SAGE. It was an OK reader, and I would check my feeds about once a week. Not really the intended 'use case'. Problem was that I was not hooked like I am with Facebook! In addition to SAGE I have used Yahoo's RSS reader -- where I save feeds into my Yahoo Mail account. Side note, I upgraded to Yahoo pro and it is slow and cranky! Lastly, I have a Bloglines account, which again I rarely visit. So the search continues for the ultimate RSS feeder. I am re-exploring FireFox Add-ons and I may just dump yahoo all together and move over to Gmail and Google's Reader.
