Comment: RSS reader replaced by outdated Browser

Farhad Manjoo, a columnist for Slate, a famous American online magazine, has a special liking for RSS readers. He has been using Bloglines, the originator of RSS readers for many years. Enter the address of the website with the required information, and update these websites will be exhausted.

In recent years, RSS readers have become increasingly popular. Almost any news website, even non-news articles such as Craigslist and eBay, also support RSS. Later, Google Reader came into being. This is a more powerful RSS Reader. Therefore, man Joo moved to love and used Google Reader.

However, manjoo recently found that RSS reader not only has not brought convenience, but has brought a lot of trouble to himself. Each time an email is opened, hundreds of emails need to be replied. In addition, every time you see a news article that you are interested in, the whole website will be added to your favorites. Over time, we finally found that hundreds of websites have been added to our favorites. Moreover, most updates have no value.

In addition, the interface of the RSS reader is unremarkable, and only plain text can be seen at a time, rather than webpage design. Therefore, the visual experience is boring.

Therefore, Mamo decided to find a new reading method. The final solution is also simple: Web browser, multi-tag, and middle mouse buttons.

M Joo draws on the idea of Michael Surtees, the owner of the blog website DesignNotes. Based on the frequency of the website you visit, setis creates some folders in the browser named M1, M2, and M3, respectively, to collect the websites you visit, 1, 2, and 3 represent the Access frequency. In this way, you can open each website through multiple tags in a browser.

The folders created by manjoo are named "Eight o'clock A.M." and "Ten o'clock A.M." respectively. Obviously, the websites in the "Eight o'clock A.M." folder are suitable for updating and browsing at AM.

Some people may think that the creation process is complicated. But in fact, once the creation is complete, the maintenance is quite convenient. In addition, users can switch between tags while updating, instead of being as slow as RSS readers.
