I was never into RSS feeds so much due to my short attention span for the computer. However, after investigating several of them for this assignment, I can see the value of them and how it is any easy way to put all of the good content you want in one easy place.
Feedly was really appealing to me. I liked the easy layout design and how quickly I was able to explore several feeds on different topics that were interesting to me. Easy and fast is the way to go for me. This one would be a good one for me, and I may consider using it.
That being said, I didn't like NetVibes. That one was way too much information in my face and too much going on all over the page to look at and navigate. I found the same to be true with The Old Reader. No go for me there.
The exploration continued, and I also liked NewsBlur. The content was displaced nicely, and locating what I was looking for came up quickly. Good stuff here.
Pocket seemed to have my name all over it. I LOVED the idea of being able to store articles and website information to read later. That is totally how I roll. SO many interesting and cool things to read, yet so little time. See an article, put it in your Pocket. Awesome. My Pocket would be stuffed!
I will have to let you all know which one I decide on! Until next time! Peace out.

I don't use RSS a lot, but if you do assign your students to do individual blogs, you'll want some way to send posts to the same place -- too hard to check each blog individually!
This is a lively, lovely looking blog--a feast for the eye. Shaun
