Fooled by Randomness is a great book with great advice and it really puts things into perspective. Of course, I’m still trying to get lucky.

Is RSS killing My Yahoo?

There’s a bit of a meme lately on folks dropping My Yahoo! as home page – Paul Kedrosky has the links and is guilty as charged. I used to start there but dropped it not long after I realized I was going to the web only through my reader. Turns …

Right now, you’ll see a “Comments” link in the dateline for the post in NG/Online, which you can click to go to the comments (on the source site).

You could also subscribe to the individual comment feeds from the site, which as you say is somewhat less than convenient.

Moving forward, we’re working on some stuff to seamlessly integrate comments into the reading experience in NG/Online and our client products. Ideally, you’d just be able to see the comments right there…the real question comes in where you mark something as read, and later a new comment appears. Some usability issues arise with just about any solution.

But anyway, we’re definitely looking at it. If you have specific suggestions as to how you think it might work, we’d love to hear them!

I read 2 blogs by venture capitalists. Not that I know anything about vc, rather because of the "athletic" lives. One a triathlete (who happens to stay in Boulder when in the US) and your marathoning. Both mentioned this book, this week. (his take... gblog)

I am becoming a convert using NewsGator Online. One problem with my blog feeds though – how do I see the comments? Do I have to drill into the post/blog to see them? I know I see comment feeds on some blogs so I assume it is a totally separate feed. If so, that’s a pain in the ass. Sorry if I’m missing something under my nose.

i moved to bloglines as my homepage from myyahoo as i got bored with myyahoo and realized it didnt scale for me when RSS become more important….but i think yahoo knows this too which is why they bought konfabulator which in some form to be figured out is how you solve your annoyance…

I’ve tried moving the prices to the right – it doesn’t work for me – I still look at them. Poor impulse control.

That’s exactly what I use my.yahoo for too! Although I have bloglines as my homepage, I use my.yahoo to check company specific news. Thanks to your blog entry I now know I can subscribe to the company news RSS feed directly on the yahoo finance page for the company… That’s one less site I’ll need to check!
