373 | comment | akkartik | 2007-02-21T20:27:07 | null | Counterpoint to all the calls for an RSS feed: Do others find reddit's front-page feed useful? Nobody at a social news site has yet figured out how to do the RSS feed right, IMO. I find myself using my browser to read reddit a lot more than my aggregator. For example, it's hard to capture the action on a comment thread... | null | null | 372 | 363 | null | [

379 | comment | smock | 2007-02-21T20:46:26 | null | Its interesting to me that everyone here seems to have advice to offer, some of it very personally critical, to a man who is merely outlining his own train of thought, not telling anyone to follow his path.
