Just wondering if you use a feed reader...

If YES, what feed reader do you use? How many feeds to you subscribe to? How often do you check/read the feeds?

If NO, why not?

My answers:

Reader: Google Reader
# of Feeds: About 15
How Often: Multiple times per day

What about you?

Mike

PS: And remember, please vote in the poll above!

Thanks, Jeff. That's quite a lot of feeds you have there!

I see someone voted no, but didn't respond...

If you don't use a feed reader, I am really curious as to what is stopping you, so please respond.

Thanks Warriors!

Mike

  I voted "occasionally" because it is not really me that uses it, its my
  clients that use it more than I.
  
  I used them on a site I made, it was so interesting, I decided to
  begin setting up others to do the same.

  Have you used Google Reader as well?
  
  I am curious how it compares and why you like it more than other options.

  Wow, 262 is quite a lot of subscriptions!
  
  It seems everyone uses Google Reader so far except Josh. Any other readers being used out there?
  
  Does anyone know of a good reader than can notify you when entries/feeds have been updated?

Honestly, I am not even sure what an RSS feed is! I am trying to figure all of that out though because it was automatically put on my site.

  Yes, I have checked out google reader...
  
  But there is no need for it because the Firefox plugin kicks butt.

  Google Reader (I've used bloglines previously, but after it lost all my subs a couple of times, I switched)
  77 subscriptions (around 150 posts/day, I look at them all but skim over a lot. They range from IM through my niche topics, productivity and life hacks, to personal interests and funnies)
  Read 2-3 times a day
