Everyone who uses a subscription to a RSS reader knows that it is a great invention. When you try to change your RSS reader, you usually get frustrated. There are several tips how to take advantage of your RSS reader as much as possible.

Subscribe to anything you consider interesting or worthwhile for subscription. The chances that you might read something you will be interested in are higher than if you don’t subscribe. Usually people oversubscribe to news feed and they say that they will come back again later to reread the feeds.

Every RSS reader works differently. In some of them you should check all items in the news feed at once, while with other RSS readers you are able to see the most recent items. Most of them work like the second method. However, sometimes people read the most important of their subscriptions, then they switch to the most recent news feed.

Some people consider some feeds more important than other feeds and they should better read outside RSS reader. Put the most important subscriptions in Netvirus, iGoogle or Pageflakes. This way you will be able to make a quick check of the most important feeds throughout the day.

Some desktop RSS readers enable you to filter “positive” and “negaive” news feed according to a sentiment. Google Reader is one of the most popular RSS readers, and the second is Bloglines. Anyway, there are other desktop reader, such as NetNewsWire, Vienna or FeedDemon. They are stable and functional and some of them, I can deliberately say, are better than Bloglines and Google Reader.

Desktop readers enable faster way to your news. They store everything you need on the hard drive. Google Reader is good, but it doesn’t save everything on your hard drive and it usually gets slower or even worse freezes when you have a subscription to more than 1k news feeds. Storage of feeds enables you access to anything you want anytime you want. You can even access your feeds when you are off line. Moreover, you an even read feeds that are not published anymore, because they are stored on your hard drive.

Sharing items you read becomes more popular and it adds sense to your subscription. Google reader has this option, but if you by any chance stop using it, you will lose all feeds you have shared, as well as all of your connections that subscribed to your shared feeds. Using FeedBurner instead of Google Reader is a good way to prevent this.

The best thing about an RSS reader is that it is not only convenient, but also flexible. You are able to use RSS feeds in many ways. You should experiment  a little so that you will know how to use the most of RSS reader.
