Yes, it’s time to teach some stuffs. Yes, some of you who aren’t that technical might find this useful. Well, now I have been using RSS reader to read other blog entries. Though if I find the entry amusing and something which I can add, I will go comment.
What is RSS Reader?
Have you heard of google reader. Yes, you can use Google Reader to read people’s blog RSS. In other words, you can see the posts in that reader. One good thing too, is that you can keep track on which blog has been updated. Yes, a RSS reader might sound like a very good thing. But all things like this has it’s flaw.
So if you think this post has helped you a lot, then come subscribe to my RSS feed. It not only helps in readability issues but I can say the most important is to know whose blog has been updated.
What are the disadvantages?
We all know in the blog zone and space, we build on hits and links and also visits by other bloggers and readers who like visiting your site. If you think that your blog has got what it takes to be visited frequently, I am sure people either come visit regularly almost everyday or they can even subscribe to your RSS feeds.
Yes, the problem is when people rely too much on RSS readers that they tend to neglect the blogger involved and forget to comment. This also prevents MyBlogLog to keep tracking who came to the blog. So if you really want to use RSS readers, use it to keep track on whose blog was updated instead of reading right through the reader. It not only helps you let the blogger aware that you’re on their site but also helps the other party to generate traffic. Well, though if someone were to subscribe to your feeds, your site has got what it takes to be up there.
I don’t want Google Reader!! Any other RSS Readers??
Yes, there are plenty out there. Yes, I also do use bloglines last time as my Reader. All you need to do is type RSS readers on Google.com and you can find tonnes of them.
