Basically, RSS feeds are transmissions of website updates. If you are new to RSS, check out this introduction. Filtering and tagging options make it easier for me to work with the feeds and review them at my leisure. Using the short-cut keys, I can zoom through my feeds and add stars to interesting posts. If I see an interesting post, I can easily send it to someone else. I can receive email and RSS subscriptions in the same place. Also, I am building a searchable archive of my favorite sites. I never have to worry about anything being deleted. So why do I still still prefer the "hacked" Gmail email account?
There are a lot of good web feed readers available. Since then, my Gmail reader has been essential for keeping up with my favorite blogs and for organizing information. I first came across the idea a couple months ago in this article. I'm not talking about the half-assed Gmail RSS feature, but rather a bonafide feed reader "hacked" out of a Gmail account.
Since we've been talking alot about RSS feeds, I thought I'd discuss how to create a real Gmail feed reader.
