Dr. Bloglove or: “How I Learned to Stop Surfing and Love RSS” *
10 Aug 2006
I spend a lot of time checking my favorite sites for new articles, constantly refreshing and switch from tab to tab. I tried RSS before; (builtin Safari, FeedBlitz, Google Reader, Sage, etc…) nothing really did it for me. Until RSS Menu, its super simple. It justs sits in your menu and updates the count when there are new articles. You can click the item and go directly to it, or hover over it to see a short description. What I like the most is I can just click the url title and got to the main page, helpful for sites that have a lot of articles I want to read.
To make it perfect you have to have GROWL installed. I currently have it setup to notify me with sticky notifications. That way I can see any new posts that appear when I have been away. Now I spend less time surfing and more time working.
This is a fairly “usefull” tool, I love it too. Thank you for sharing it with me.
