If you were wondering where I “advertised” this newsfeed: I submitted my feed to Feedster, Syndic8, and Bloglines. Bloglines is very interesting as they offer a free service that includes an online feedreader, ability to easily create your own blog, and a full community for sharing your feeds. For example, look at my page at Bloglines. What I can’t figure out is how they make any money.

Overall, there are three ways you can get a feedreader, and all three ways are available free: (1) Online, e.g. with Bloglines, (2) On your desktop as a standalone program, e.g. with SharpReader, or (3) Integrated into your mailreader, e.g. with nntp//rss. I’ve also seen other possibilities, e.g. RSS to e-mail, but I think that’s enough choices already!
