What Jamie wrote
Probably you know I’m a huge fan of the RSS protocol and what how it allows you to subscribe to websites for ongoing updates, if they support it. In this post Oliver describes his failed attempts to use RSS and what he did differently to understand how to approach it better.
So, using an RSS reader is more than having a nice aggregator: It's a skill and a routine. And that's also where the magic lies because it's that very process of engaging with content and deciding whether or not it has value to you that makes using an RSS reader a better experience and one where you own your attention.
If it is indeed a skill it is one that I've honed well having used RSS for longer than I can remember.
