I first set up an RSS reader about 5 or 6 years ago. I tend to be very conscientious about checking it in the short term, but then end up marking thousands of posts unread. This simply does not work well for me. I will occasionally check my Flipboard app on my iPad, but it is not something that I use on a regular basis.
What works for me... feeds via email. I actually read these and have a folder system set up on my gmail to tag them and put them into folders as they arrive. Curation has changed and RSS is not always the best resource for me.
Currently I tend to collect feeds that help me solve problems. I am looking at chromebooks as a solution to replace a cart of netbooks, so have subscribed to a free from chromebooksedu on google+. I am also interested in ipads in schools, so I subscribe to several scoopits on this topic as well as a scoopit on digital citizenship I use hashtags on twitter and subscribe to a couple of twitter searches to stay current on those.
So, setting up the RSS again.. I found myself wandering about, reading various posts and responding to several: I have not gotten any responses yet. Will I keep up the RSS? My history says no, that I have other means that work better for me- but I'll give it a shot for the next several months and see if the newer tools or different blogs will make me want to check in. Ya nevah know!
