Eric Schwartz:
While I have used a handful of RSS readers over the years, NetNewsWire is one of the earliest I used and one I still come back to, even after a bumpy ride. There are probably more than a handful of blogs and sites that I’ve subscribed to that have made the jump from NetNewsWire to NewsFire to Reeder to whatever else in between and more than a handful of back-end sync services to keep track of it all. If I see something insightful that someone writes and some of their other posts are enjoyable, I’ll subscribe. Social media comes and goes, but the little geeky list of things that computer enthusiasts, designers, and other interesting folks are writing has been a part of my daily routine for the better part of the last twenty years.
My RSS feed is something I check every day. Using it would have took different than it does today to catch a toehold with social medians, though.
