Shocking I know, but I have never really made use of RSS feeds. I gave Google Reader a try, but I just couldn't see the point. Having added various sites like guardian.co.uk, bbc.co.uk and Slashdot, I just never bothered to check it. Why? Because these were sites I visited pretty much every day anyway - I didn't need another application telling me what articles were on there.
However, having been on a mission to immerse myself in the Groovy + Grails community of late, I suddenly get it! Sites like Graeme Rocher's Blog and Grails Podcast are not sites I look at every day, but I want to be notified whenever they publish new articles. And that's exactly what RSS / Google Reader does for me. A quick glance at my overview page, and I can see if any of the feeds I've subscribed to contain any new articles. :-)

Conincedentally as an avid reader of your blog I find my self checking its RSS feed instead of the page.
Don't forget FooTech mate ;-)
