Lots of blogs that are no longer updated, I see.

Several blogs by ILXors/ex-Stylus writers (Soto, Unterberger, Matos, Cibula, et al.)

A couple personal blogs by friends.

After that, you're pretty much just left with...

FiveThirtyEight
Michael Berube (academic who writes about politics and pop culture)
The Baby Name Wizard
The Singles Jukebox

There are other blogs I read occasionally but don't put in the RSS feed because they update too often. Or else, in the case of Alan Sepinwall's TV blog, for instance, I'm only interested in the posts about shows I watch, and he keeps to a regular schedule, so it's just easier to go there the day after I watch something and know that one of the most recent posts will be his review.

Oh god, I have way too many feeds in my reader, it is becoming overwhelming. A lot of them are sort of for work though.

I just checked and I have 177 subscriptions! I guess I had better get to weeding!

From your 274 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 8,405 items, starred 11 items, shared 184 items, and emailed 0 items.

I just cut wayyyyyyyyy down on the amount of feeds I subscribe to in GReader.

Here's one blog I really recommend: http://www.43folders.com/

from my stats list

Gawker
The Daily Beast - Cheat Sheet
Deadspin
Ta-Nehisi Coates
Eater NY
KEGGERS OF YORE

Latest Movie Trailers

Anyone else? Curious to see what other ilxors are reading.

Also, how do you guys organize your feeds? I have one folder for "must read"s, another for "favorite writers," and then folders for categories of stuff I'm interested in (music, philosophy, book publishers, etc.).

some more things I've started following:

Daring Fireball [http://daringfireball.net/]
Kung Fu Grippe [http://kungfugrippe.com]
Marco.org [http://marco.org]
The Singles Jukebox [http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/]

what's everyone else reading in Google Reader (or whatever your RSS reader is)? (thinking of starting a more general "what websites are ilxors following these days?" thread, too.)

I don't even read all of mine, but my favorites are:

Jezebel
Slacktivist
Internet Monk
Racialicious
Dinosaur Comics (best comic ever!)
EurasiaNet
Smitten Kitchen

can u rss ur tumblr dashboard?

i'm not sure if there's a built-in way to do that, but you could always create a folder in Google Reader or your rss reader of choice, call it Tumblr dashboard, and just drop in the feeds of all the people you follow. wouldn't stay in sync as you follow and unfollow people, but you could do that manually.

ikr you should stop subscribing to mind grapes and just subscribe to my tumblr since all mind grapes does is aggregate dh and the tumblr anyway

FWIW my Google Reader shared page is: http://www.google.com/reader/shared/quartzcity

way too many to list. bunch of fashion blogs (including a few of people whose style i don't like, because i can't resist..), ta-nehisi coates (who i think is my favorite blogger of all), talkleft, the plum line (greg sargent), james wolcott, correntewire, think progress, krugman, greenwald, left coaster.. bunch of other liberal blogs i can't keep up with

redskins blog, mike reiss @ espn

i've seen a lot of people mention ta-nehisi coates. i have no idea who that is, except that his blog is with the atlantic. worth following, i'm guessing?

max srsly i click subscribe and never look back

TNC is great. he writes about all kinds of topics and is OTM about 99% of the time (one exception: rooting for DALLAS COWBOYS), and always open-minded, curious, level-headed, and doesn't claim to know everything. that's pretty rare in the blogosphere. and the comments are actually worth reading too, he keeps an eye on them so that people actually have intelligent conversation.

awesome! thank you. i just added his feed.

i do not always agree w/ tnc but he is one of those rare (for me) people i can disagree with at the exact same time as really liking and appreciating him

what do you disagree with him about? i disagree with him about hitting kids.

does he not think it's ok to hit kids? in that case i disagree too, love hitting kids

i don't know specifically right now, i just know i have sometimes read him and disagreed! but i'm ok with it. i still learn things.

you know what max, i'm just inclined to disagree with people in general. could be that i really always agree with him and i just won't let it happen!

i was just wondering because i agree with you about a lot of things and i agree with tnc about a lot of things, so i wanted to pick sides on a couple issues

that's just because i don't bother saying anything when i disagree with you :)
nah i think sometimes he is just more of a moderate guy and when he makes a good argument for a moderate position i get contrarian baout things

Google Reader just added a new feature that lets you get updates on sites that don't have feeds:

Today we're rolling out a change in Google Reader that lets you create a custom feed to track changes on pages that don't have their own feed.

...

We provide short snippets of page changes to help you quickly decide if the page is worth revisiting and we're working on improving the quality of these snippets.

Google will watch for changes in "[Removed Illegal Link]; and summarize them for you.

[Removed Illegal Link]

huh

Where are you seeing that?

This is a good site to follow for links to longer articles; I haven't added it to Reader, but I check in on it from time to time:

http://givemesomethingtoread.com/

I should add it to Reader tho.

that's actually interesting because i haven't even logged into feedbin itself yet over there, which i should perhaps do at some point.

gotta love sites with malfunctioning rss feeds

i want to follow your fucking site and i can't

yeah it's amazing how many sites still mess this up when it's built-in to every damn template/CMS/whatever there is at this point

Reeder 2 for Mac is in beta. Nice enough, but feels like it's playing catchup with Readkit at this point.

idk i just use feedbin in safari

too bad there are no screenshots tho, it wouldn't be a bad thing to at least see what it looks like

Dark Theme
Light Theme

I have feedbin open in a chome tab all day at work, but I still like using an app at home

fair enough. that interface looks p minimal

feedly down today? :(

Yeah, apparently some kind of denial of service attack. It is causing me some distress.

Yeah, ddos attack. Annoying.

whew, thank god it's back

not quite

i don't get denial of service attacks. like, as pure hostility/damage for a purpose, sure. but who just denies service to stuff? just because?

yeah, pretty dickish. i need my RSS feeds!

bored script kiddies and secret corporate malfeasance

well, apparently whoever is doing this is demanding some kind of ransom from feedly?

huh. surprising, i can't imagine that actually works most of the time, since nothing would stop you from getting extorted again if you paid the ransom

don't suppose anyone here's successfully got a rss feed of a twitter LIST working

thought i may as well ask before i get round to these hundred tabs i have open with likely now outdated methods

stet: written in Haskell for the backend, with an utterly obscure dependently-typed academic web language called ur/web for the frontend. He posted some about it here: http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/1ha5dd/rss_reader_written_in_haskell_and_urweb/

is it testament to this alternative set-up or just to the author's mad coding skillz that bazqux is like the most rock solid flawless shit ever? (i know nothing about this stuff but it strikes me every day)

bazqux is still the business. It really is solid as hell, and the filter stuff is superb.

^^^^^ on this. Solid site. What's google reader?

dude is responsive as hell too. wrote him the other week about a stale feed and he responded explaining why the people providing the feed screwed up and how he'd contacted them to try to fix it before!

Still very happy with Feedbin

i still use feedly like a schmuck

what's wrong with feedly? works fine for me

do you use it like a schmuck or do you have it on the other setting

i dunno i just use it, seemed better than the other options that popped up, never really threw myself into deciding what was best, but no one ever sez o man feedly is so great, they make all kinds of ui tweaks that are irritating but i just tolerate them because whatever

Same

Well, I was happy with Feedly until today. They're limiting free accounts and charging $6 a month for non-crippled service. Thanks for the BazQux tip! $19 a year and includes lots of features that I actually give a shit about, like keeping unread items for more than 30 days and the ability to retrieve the full text of those annoying posts that cut themselves off in an attempt to make you visit their web page.

Plus now after importing over my opml file, I see that there are a bunch of feeds that Feedly just stopped giving me (leaving me to assume that they had died) that are actually still being updated with fresh content!? Fuck that! How much awesome shit have I missed since I started using Feedly? ugh

Well, you've convinced me to sign up for a trial run on BazQux. I'm actually quite happy with Feedly Pro (even though I don't actually use the pro features) but always getting full articles + no 30 day limit sounds great.

I still use the Old Reader. It's free and doesn't seem to have a 30 day limit, I still have articles going back a few months on it.

It's a bit resource-heavy and has an annoying bug where it marks all articles as read if you click on any of them, but I just skim through them and Star anything I actually want to read later and use the Starred tab as my "unread" tab.

No 30-day limit sounds very appealing. Is BazQux compatible with Reeder app?

It is, yep. It's compatible with nearly ever app that supports Fever too -- it presents a fever API as well as its own

You can always use something like Pocket, Evernote, Simplenote etc. to save those links though it's probably not as well organized

I pay 20 dollars a year for feedbin and it does everything and looks great. Dont' know why it's not more popular.

new customers pay $36/year pay be part of it

Worth it.

Ten years gone - a look back at Reader's history with the team that built it. (I hadn't realized just how much Google executives were hostile to it)
https://www.theverge.com/23778253/google-reader-death-2013-rss-social

Google Reader, Mp3 blogs and early Twitter (2009ish) were peak-internet.

I'm bored enough to be going through old Evernote notes and found a list I'd migrated from Delicious. Lots of dead links, unsurprisingly.

Still using feedbin all day. Bummer when Elon stopped the twitter access though.

Yah, I'm happily using News Explorer for everything - including YouTube, Reddit, Mastodon... and Twitter before the API was killed.

I've just fired up Feedly for the first time in ages and yep, still chugging away in the background. It's amazing how many people have just kept churning out content on various blog platforms.

I am glad Feedly is still there, I'll go through months where I just forget about it, and come back to where i left off

I still sync Reeder to my Inoreader account. Not giving up RSS readers anytime soon

i finally realized that substack has a preference that allows you to *not* get sent an email for new posts. so even if stuff is subscriber-only i can still just access it by subscribing to the feed in feedbin and not have it clogging up my email. (feedbin also gives you a dummy email account that you can use for signing up for newsletters that will then show up in the reader, but i feel like that might cause annoying complications in some situations)

I would never be able to handle the traffic if I didn't have substack's RSS
