Re: Is it actually useful? wotmania - 14/04/2004 11:30:53 PM

Not to sound like a dissident, but isn't it just as laborious to first download, then later run an RSS program every time you want to see your notes as it would be to just come to Wotmania and log in? Especially since you'd have to come here to reply to it anyway... it seems rather redundant, because one way or the other, you still end up coming here.

Sorry, I've no clue what RSS even means, and it might be why I don't understand this.

Well, I pull news via RSS from all sorts of news sites (Slashdot, for example). The RSS program I use starts when my computer boots up, and it just periodically scans all the sites I'm interested in. And if I see a note that comes in which isn't super important, I can put it off. And it also now stores the notes locally - so I can read notes offline and just reply to them whenever I get back online.

Not all premium features are meant to work out for everyone. Some people probably won't bother with this, but premies that are big RSS users will probably like this a lot.
