[Poll #1461909]

(And yes, RSS there is meant to also include Atom, for those techno-pedants in the crowd)

The QI RSS feed is rather wonderful. As is the updates for Bob The Angry Flower.

[andrewducker]

Yeah - most of my comics friends list is RSS :->

Having said no to using RSS, I realised of course that the XKCD feed on LJ is RSS but that's about all I have.

[andrewducker]

I hope you went back and updated the poll!

[bracknellexile.livejournal.com]

Nope! :P

[bracknellexile.livejournal.com]

Oh OK, if you insist....

I don't have any RSS feeds on my own LJ friends page, but I sometimes read other people's friends pages and they do. Does that count?

[andrewducker]

If you happen to blunder across RSS I'd say it didn't count - if you deliberately go looking for the feeds then I'd say it did :->

I grab all my feeds through my LJ friends list. When LJ lost feeds the other week I was tearing my hair out.

[andrewducker]

I use LJ for people and comics, because I find the LJ interface better for reading long posts. For news feeds, and other things where I ignore 90% of the items and open the interesting ones in new windows, I use Google Reader.

And I was also tearing my hair out - I had no Dilbert!

If you count RSS feeds on my fiends page (which it seems you do) then yes.

[andrewducker]

I can't think of a reason I wouldn't count them :->

Besides many RSS feeds and a couple of email lists, I also read a couple of private google/yahoo groups (where most participants use email) via their websites.

[andrewducker]

I'm on the mailing list for Fitnesse (automated testing stuff) - and I mostly read that via the website, because it's easier than getting lots of emails.

My highest-volume mailing list is Bracknell Forest Freecycle Bracknell Freegle, which I get in what Yahoo! call "Digest Mode" -- one email for each 25 posts, which makes the quantity a little more managable.

Cartoons, notification of updates from certain websites, and filtered subsets of BBC news, all come via RSS on my LJ friends page.

I use both, but get vastly more information via feeds than via mailing lists.
