Ask HN: How many of you/us use Google Reader on a daily basis?

4 points by chrmaury 14y ago ↗ HN

I'm just curious, as it is still my #1 consumption app in spite of FB, Twitter, G+, etc.

I have over 80 publications and read over 800 items a day.

Am I the only one?

Maybe you could change this into a poll? I use Google Reader and check it often, but I'm very selective of what I subscribe to, so there's not usually a lot of updates to catch up on.

I wanted to do a poll. I didn't see how to do that when I posted. Can you give a quick howto? Sorry for being a newb.

Karma > 200 is required.

As I do not have karma >200, would you mind creating the poll?

If not, I understand, but I will upvote.

I think many of us are actually still addicted to RSS readers although it may not always be Google Reader (I still have many feeds stuck in MyYahoo! because I started with them when it was shiny and new). Granted that may be a small group of users, but it's certainly the power users. By the way this doesn't just include techies but also includes journalists and other news junkies.

I use it every day, but i also use this greasemonkey script to make it a bit easier on the eyes.
