Honestly, I can’t now say how many. But all I know is that whenever there is a new post, it will come to me rather than me having to once again check a overwhelming RSS reader full of all those unread updates that just build up and up.

I now actually look forward to receiving email from Feedburner or Feedinbox because invariably, it means little work on my behalf. If the feed in question becomes less and less interesting, then I can simply unsub with one mouse click from the bottom of the email and no more boring feeds.

I seem to be in the minority, or so it feels, that has this immense dislike for RSS feeds and readers.

But all valid points in your post for sure. Which is proven because I clicked on the link after getting your RSS update by email and felt inclined to comment. lol.

Regarding Updating, too many updates on a single day and I usually skip the feed or finally unsubscribe. IMO, at most five is a something that will keep me continuing to read a feed.
