Thank you. I want to start with thank you.

I’m not a very big page on Tumblr but the friends and followers I’ve made along the way all mean the world to me. And I’ve had a tough few weeks...

A friend decided to just up and leave me, deciding our friendship wasn’t worth it anymore, but I shall forgive and forget because I don’t like to hold grudges. However, unknowingly, my internet friends have made a huge impact on me and kept me sane and laughing throughout that time. So I want to personally thank them all, and yes I know this is really corny.

Thanks to @ofbeautsandbeasts and @supersnowscosplay for regularly posting to make everyone laugh and smile.

Thanks to @hungarianator for liking and reblogging, makes me feel like someone out there sees me.

And thanks to @obesessedwbeautiesandbeasts and @ofbeautsandbeasts again for tagging me in the little games. I enjoy every one I do.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there with me through difficult times, and know that if any of you need anything or anyone just needs to chat, you only have to ask.

Confession: When I first heard ‘weblog’...

...I seriously thought it meant an online record of a webmaster’s changes to a website.  I had no idea it meant something else, would get shortened to ‘blog’, resembled a cross between a diary and a guestbook (anyone remember when guestbooks were the main way to communicate with website owners? anyone remember the Internet before websites?  I swear I’m not that old but online eras are so short) and would take over the Internet.  

Usually I hide when I don’t understand something.  It’s instinctive.  It’s how I got an expressive vocabulary much larger than receptive.  But I’m trying to be honest when I really don’t know what a word means.

AOLReader and Digg Reader compared

I talked about these 2 new Feed readers in Beta on this week's Tokyo Social podcast. Below are my thoughts and the Pros and Cons of the new services after using both for 1 week.

Two new Readers were released in Beta this week, AOL Reader and Digg Reader. AOL Reader I was surprised about, but makes sense considering AOL owns Engadget, TUAW, Techcrunch, and other popular blogs. It is the first product from AOL I’ve signed up to use since AIM that I last used back in the early 2000’s. I’ve been using both readers through this week and wanted to mention my thoughts and an overview of their features to see how they compare.

AOL Reader:

Pros: * Nice easy to understand UI, feed list on the left, articles in the center, and a non-obtrusive ad on the right.

Site FavIcons are shown for the subscribed feeds if available. Subscribed feeds are pretty much in the same order as Google Reader, for the feeds you imported from the exported Google Reader OPML file.

Navigating through your feeds is fast, support for Google Reader’s shortcuts Press ? to bring up a help menu showing all shortcuts.

Share to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, and E-mail is built into the UI.

Four different View layouts (List view for just title headlines, Card view shows an image thumbnail if there is one, Full view shows the full article contents, and Panel view that shows the first couple sentences of the article that you can click on to view the full article in the bottom half of the layout). Also post order can be sorted by Newest First or Oldest First.

Posts can be Starred to save for later reading. Also organizing Feeds in folders is supported.

Posts listed are always accessible every time clicked on a post it would show without error messages or time outs, and Unread post counter is accurate but caps out at 999.

Cons:

Feed refresh time is not so frequent, feeds seem to be fetched every 3 hours or so. This may not be a problem for some users, but for people who want up to date breaking news it can be an issue.

For some feeds the Date is shows as the date the post was fetched by AOL Reader not the date it was posted. This leads to many older feed entries showing as new, even though they’re not when the feed is initially added.

A small number of feeds are being re-fetched and show New posts again that were already shown as new. This leads to duplicate posts showing up as new again.

Embedded content in posts tends to be hidden or stripped out, for example embedded youtube and Vimeo videos, and images as well tend to not show in the AOL Reader.

No way to see the RSS Feed URL that is subscribed to, to check feeds that aren’t updating, so no quick way to correcting broken or old RSS Feed URLs.

Digg Reader Pros:

Simple but intuitive UI. Except for Feed organizing, which can only be done by dragging the Feed’s icon to the position or folder you want.

  Navigating through your feeds is snappy fast, feels slightly faster than AOL Reader. Support for Google Reader’s shortcuts is available, J, K, etc.

Share to Twitter and Facebook are built into the UI. Read Later integration is available from the Settings page, supporting Readability, Instapaper, and Pocket.

View layouts are limited to List view or Expanded view. I don’t see this as a problem though as this beta is targeted initially for heavy feed readers.

Posts can be Saved with the Bookmark icon or Dugg with the Thumbs up icon.

Digg Reader includes a Popular section that highlights posts from your subscribed Feeds that many people are reading and are popular on the web via Bit.ly and other social tools.

Feed refresh time is good, at least new posts are displayed faster than AOL Reader.

Embedded content in posts is usually visible, such as youtube or Vimeo videos and images.

Date of posts is accurate for the most part, Posts show when the post was Posted not when the post was retrieved.

The subscribed RSS Feed URL can be viewed, if you find a feed not working you can manually check if it’s old or broken so that you can subscribe to the correct feed.

Cons:

Only a few site FavIcons are shown, the rest show a default icon.

  Subscribed Feeds imported from Google Reader are put in some random order. Not alphabetical and not the order from Google Reader. Strangely feeds in Folders are in alphabetical order but the feeds outside of a folder and the folders also are not in alphabetical order.

Posts listed sometimes are not accessible. The Feed will show new posts are available to read by being in Bold, but when click the feed no posts will show. After 1 or 2 retries the posts will show up.

By default Digg Reader hides the number of Unread posts, this can be enabled on the Settings page but the Unread Counter is sometimes not working,

When the Show Unread setting is working the number of Unread items sometimes isn’t correct. For example, after reading all items in a feed it will still show a few items are still Unread.

EXCERPT: KEYWORDS: AOLReader, diggreader, feeds, rss

In the early aughts, I had a webblog on this site that was a cross between livejournal and deviantart. Now I can't remember the name of the site (something like A Separate Piece? There was a tree on the homepage and it was very black and green). I feel like that encompasses a lot about who I am as a person.
