The idea<\/h3>\n

#FeedReaderFriday: A Suggestion for Changing our Social Media Patterns | Chris Aldrich<\/a><\/p>\n

Back around 2005 I was learning to blog with my class and exploring blogging. I was on a train with Ewan Mcintosh<\/a> going to a conference or training event. Ewan was using NetNewWire and showed me how he used it. I\u2019d already got the app, probably from a Mac magazine cover disk, but not really understood it. Watching Ewan read, take notes & blog, everything clicked. I do not think there have been many days since I\u2019ve not used RSS.<\/p>\n

Feed Readers<\/h3>\n

Micro.blog<\/a> if a interesting product. Part blogging service part network. To me micro.blog\u2019s superpower is that the community is open to anyone with an RSS feed. I don\u2019t host with micro.blog but send in a category of my blog which becomes a first class member of the community. Using the app I can read other micro bloggers, some hosted with micro.blog some elsewhere. I can also add any RSS feed to micro.blog so I can follow them without leaving the app. I don’t do this often but it is handy. The app is not my main feed reader but a handy additional tool. Micro.blog is also one of the nicest online communities I\u2019ve come across. Manton<\/a> has carefully designed it to avoid some the problems of other networks, no follower accounts or favourites. Micro.blog has a lot more than this brief note covers. Manton also wrote the Indie Microblogging<\/a> book. You can read the whole thing online.<\/p>\n

Folk to follow<\/h3>\n

So a couple of groups I find it interesting to follow via RSS<\/p>\n

Caught by the River<\/a> | RSS Feed<\/a><\/p>\n

Caught by the River is an arts\/nature\/culture clash \u2026 an online meeting place for pursuits of a distinctly non-digital variety \u2014 walking, fishing, looking, thinking, birdsong and beer, adventure and poetry; life\u2019s small pleasures, in all their many flavours \u2014 it was, and still is, about stepping out of daily routines to re-engage with nature. Finding new rhythms. Being.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Open Culture<\/a> | RSS Feed<\/a> Hard to describe, at the top of the page today: A List of 1,065 Medieval Dog Names: Nosewise, Garlik, Havegoodday & More<\/a>. The best free cultural & educational media on the web<\/em><\/p>\n

This post is part of a series with a wee bit about readers and a couple of suggestions of feeds to follow.<\/p>\n
