    RRS feeds

    I'm listening to the podcast right now, and I guess I'm one of the diehards who refuse to let go of RSS feeds.

    After Google killed off Reader, I migrated to Feedly, which I use either in Firefox on my laptop or a dedicated app on my phone (I highly recommend FeedMe for Android phones).

    With regards to the lack of filters & curation for RSS feeds, I used Yahoo Pipes for several years - until that also was killed off.
    Recently, though, I found SpecificFeeds (I'm not sure if links are allowed, but Google is your friend), which also lets you filter RSS feeds. Not nearly as powerful as Pipes, but still a lot better than nothing, and really helps cut down the firehose of information from sites that only offer one single feed with all of their posts.

    If there are any other RSS-diehards out there, I suggest you give it a try!
