RSS Feeds : Feedly and Engadget

  Feedly has some good features as an RSS feed source.  I like to read, but I tend to get bogged down in links, and lose track of time.  Using a feed lets me scan through the story highlights, and if I choose, I can read the entire article, stories being selected by my criteria.  The Feedly Home Page isn't much to ooh and ahh about, but that's secondary to the purpose of a feed, to me.

The big red rectangle contains the customized menu of my site.  1. The Verge, 2. Techacker, and 3. Lifehacker are some sites I added to Feedly, while my Primary Feed is Digital Trends, indicated by the arrow.  The smaller rectangle shows some other related sites that Feedly suggested.  

  Feedly is more than adequate for my needs, and I really like being able to choose the sites that send me articles in this one location.  There are multiple page lay-outs to pick from in options.  I can scan for Save To Read Later articles and at the end of each page is a Mark Page As Read button.  This moves me onto my next site's choices.  Very convenient.

The other RSS feed I chose is Engadget.  This was a random choice, because I really don't know much about these feeds other than that they are around.  I had a couple of them loaded on my computer when I first got it, but I don't know where they are now and don't really want to look for them.  I like the  overhead toolbar, shown above, minus the categories.  The page lay-out isn't like Feedly's though.  It seems to be locked in full article mode.  I don't see any options anyway.  I was going to check out their subscribe sub-category, but it kept loading a code page through several tries.  Feedly is a clear winner over Engadget at this short glance.  

I may come back to this topic.  These feeds could be something I might use.

We'll see.
