  I use RSS to read almost all my news, now. I have a feed from the journal.pl file, which shows me any new journal postings. I read the news with NetNewsWire.app, but there are dozens of aggregators out there.

    I do that, using RSSBandit, which seems to work pretty well for most feeds. However, I always seem to find that the use.perl feed is "missing" journal entries, compared to my amigos page.

    What url do you use for your feed? I'm using http://use.perl.org/journal.pl?op=top&content_type=rss.

      I use the same link. I find that entries that don't show up prompty do show up eventually. I don't know why, but it's so.

  When you mark someone as a friend (click on the yellow face image next to a name to start that process), that friend's journal is added to your amigo list.

    The problem is that you eventually hit the "200 friend limit". I know, I did a few weeks ago, and now I have to stare at the 200 friends and mentally sort the list to see who is unlikely to post a new journal entry soon.

    I really really want a "subcribe to journals" option here. No go, though. I shouldn't have to "friend" everyone that I want to read. {grin}

      Now that I had just thought about a way to add everyone as my friend, they tell me...

  I use the SOAP interface to pull down all of the recent entries [sourceforge.net].
  
  I would use the RSS feed if the posts were in the feed. Otherwise I still have to use a web browser, which I would rather not do.
