After a bit of frustration with how some website owner/operators run their ancillary feeds these days, I find myself dropping all but their RSS feeds. It’s more about the lack of professionalism in the personalities behind the social feeds vs. a pretty basic RSS feed.
Read on and find out why I think, for some, RSS Feeds is the best way to follow a website.

In this day and age, every website owner/operator puts their content out in every possible fashion. They scramble to figure out every last trick that Google has for them and how to game it and rank well within that nebulous web ranking system. They also play on the human factor by using bait title tactics, report the news bites or generate interesting opinion pieces.
To get those pieces of work out, they use different venues for getting their content in your face. Some sites stick with the basics of Facebook and Twitter. Others pound out other venues for their regurgitated content.
For you the web surfer, you have to decide how best to spend your time, because your time is a pretty valuable commodity. Period.
Do you want just the info, or do you want to interact and feel like the web author is a human. And therein lies the sales pitch to website admins… to “engage” the community.

The average web surfer spends maybe around 90 seconds on a blog/website, skittering along looking for or at things that might catch your attention. If nothing does, you either move on or never land there.
And you have good reason for skittering through a website… In 2011, there were roughly around 150 million blogs out there. And you only have so much time.
