Addicted to RSS, Really

I should point out that RSS makes weblog reading very much like reading USENET. –Mark A. Hershberger in Phil Ringnalda’s comments

I’m still up, reading all the blogs I never get around to because it’s just so difficult to follow fifteen geek blogs and fifteen fan blogs. At first I found the name NetNewsWire a little confusing, since I think of news as NNTP (e.g., alt.startrek.creative), but now I se that just as newsgroups are much more convenient than mailing lists, RSS is much more convenient than web pages. Less clicking around means fewer fic taxes.

At the moment, I’m trying to figure out how to get a second RSS feed here, one that does the whole entry content rather than the entry summary (which MT generates automatically). Yes, I should be sleeping rather than geeking, but RSS is just too cool for words.
