Very well put! My RSS reader (http://kouio.com http://kouio.com after Google's shut down) has always been my complete command centre: - Google Alerts - Linke

  How are you organising these feeds? Just interested because that is always my downfall. End up subscribing to loads of stuff and eventually stop reading

    Well that list above are all things I kinda class as "personal notifications", so I put all those into a folder - in kouio you can view a single folder at a time, or expand it and see the unread counts against each feed (pretty sure Google's worked that way too). Then everything else goes into various folders, with a couple top-level main feeds that I don't put into a folder at all, here's a screenshot: http://cl.ly/VNOJ http://cl.ly/VNOJ

      Cheers bud! Think i'll do some RSS organisation later. I like the idea of subbing to stack overflow tags - hadnt heard of that.

        Yeah I only found those recently and it kinda blew my mind - great way to keep an eye on the kinds of blockers people have with a particular technology.

  Kouio was exactly what I was looking for after Google Reader shut down. It kept enough of my favourite features such as j/k vi-style movements, starring and organisation whilst adding its own. I've not run in to any hiccups, despite the beta label. Thanks for the list of uses I hadn't considered -- I tend to lose track of mailing lists.

  That's a slick RSS reader. I have previously used The Old Reader for its simplicity. I am currently using Feedly as it has good Android support and are doing good job with Evernote integration. Thanks for suggesting the RSS reader and the age RSS app. RSS is a very good nice technology from users point of view. One place to get all your news but it's a shame that companies like want to move away from open protocols like RSS and XMPP. I have so far not been able to solve the problem of reading Hacker's News and Reddit. The easiest way to read these news aggregation sites have been to visit their front page. I couldn't find anything that would send posts that come on the front page of HN and Reddit in my RSS inbox.

    I use the web version of kouio on android every day, it's tailored directly to mobile devices: https://kouio.com/blog/kouio-your-mobile-rss-reader https://kouio.com/blog/kouio-your-mobile-rss-reader You can also push articles out to a whole ton of services at once, including Evernote: https://kouio.com/blog/sharing-is-caring https://kouio.com/blog/sharing-is-caring As for HN and Reddit, RSS is perfect for these - HN has its own RSS feed dedicated to front-page items: https://news.ycombinator.com/rss https://news.ycombinator.com/rss It gets even better with Reddit, each individual subreddit has its own RSS feed, eg: http://www.reddit.com/r/systems/.rss http://www.reddit.com/r/systems/.rss With kouio I group together all the interesting subreddit feeds under a folder called Reddit - then I can view them individually or all together at once.

      reddit's RSS features are even better than that. You can feed off users, searches, multireddits, comments on a specific post, submission from a domain, and probably more. http://www.reddit.com/wiki/rss http://www.reddit.com/wiki/rss http://www.reddit.com/r/pathogendavid/comments/tv8m9/pathogendavids_guide_to_rss_and_reddit/ http://www.reddit.com/r/pathogendavid/comments/tv8m9/pathoge...

  Thanks for the reference to Kouio - I just switched to it. So far, the UI looks even better than Google Reader. Especially on Mobile.

  Does it do podcasts?
