I’ve used multiple rss readers over the years. I would read them for a few months and then stop because news reading would become a habit. I’ve ended up using bookmark folders in Firefox and visiting the sites I like once every few months when I can focus on them.

Where rss still gets the most use from me is podcasting. It’s open and human readable and it’s great to dump an opml file into a new player or catcher and have episodes download and start listening instantly.
