I can’t say I am quite up to speed on the current ways the internet is built and consumed. For a long time I have cleaved to an RSS feedreader as a way to ingest news and information from multiple sources in one place. When Google phased out it’s Reader in 2013 (wiki<\/a>), I had the impression that feedreaders, and the RSS feeds that populated them, were on the way out. However, with many news outlets moving primarily online and blogs never really seeming to die out as a method of online communication, I am starting to wonder if the RSS feed, and, connectedly, the feedreader aren’t more prevalent now than they were nine years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a couple of best of round ups on feedreaders from the last two years on Wired<\/a> and The Blogging Wizard<\/a>, but the feedreader I have stuck to since Google, and use today, is The Old Reader<\/a>. It was created to capture everything about Google Reader that Google Reader users really liked, and since then, it has grown and developed further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is my bubble: posts I’ve shared on The Old Reader while ingesting feeds from multiple sources<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, lately I’ve been thinking about, and talking about<\/a>, the restrictive bubble of information that each one of us gets based on the media outlets we prefer and the way online algorithms tailor the content we see on the internet. This is my bubble: posts I’ve shared on The Old Reader while ingesting feeds from multiple sources<\/a>. I’ve linked it as a social media account in the side bar as well. If you happen to be interested in some of the news I am reading, then that is where you can find it: from scholarly examinations of current events, DIY trends, copyright news, and library issues, the feed will feature the best of the best as determined by me in my daily reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing I know all too well is that RSS feeds don’t always integrate into website statistics. They can be a frustration to website owners and developers when trying to track a site’s impact, so if you like what you find in my shared feeds, check out the sources. I highly recommend all the original sources as well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
