Scoble on Feed Reading
Steve Rubel pointed out this ‘home video’ interview of Robert Scoble on his RSS reading process. The questions asked were:
- Which RSS reader does he use and why?
- How does he configure it to save time?
- What are simple keyboard shortcuts anyone can use?
- How does he find and pick feeds?
- How can you catch his eye with your posts?
- How does he use RSS feeds for building relationships?
- How does he use sites like Techmeme/DIGG vs. niche blogs?
He uses Google Reader (I am yet to make the switch from Bloglines, may be my brand loyalty is too high), and reads more than 600 feeds (I should stop complaining about 175 feeds in my feedreader)! I like the analogy of ‘River of feeds’!
Also the video is on ‘Viddler‘ which makes the timeline of the video taggable, so you can classify and share instances in time. Timed tags are searchable, too.
