Today, I decided I had had enough. I finally decided that my attempts at simplicity had just got to complex. This thing intended to make reading blogs simple, rss ( really simple syndication) was just a monster in my Safari browser.

Recently, I started following quite-a-few more feeds. Safari shows numbers in the bookmarks bar for updates but it does a poor job of letting the user interact with a large number of feeds. Moreover, you have to load each page individually or use the rss reader from the feed:// option within the browser but for whatever reason, that had been acting up for me lately.

I found an OPML exporter for Safari and imported my feeds into Google Reader. So far I like it, maybe it would be good for you to. What, in your attempts at simplifying, has actually become more complex?
