Tools? I’m a tool.
Pluck doesn’t seem to like my Firefox and I have lost all my RSS feeds.
Rather than rebuilding them in an obviously wonky tool with a low CSR factor, I want to ask “what reader are you using?” But then I thought… “why stop there?”
You know you want to brag about finding the coolest tools, the funkiest
freebies and the slickest services out there… well now’s the time to
pony up and share your finds with the WORLD!!! (okay, at least with me. please.)
Just take the What’s in your Web2.0 Toolbox? questionnaire below:
- What RSS Reader are you using?
