Feeddit Powers Up The Default Digg Feed

Posted on 11. Feb, 2009 by Keshav.

Being a regular Digg user, I am usually in search of tools that make my digging practices easy and useful. Like many blogs and websites, new stories on Digg can be tracked by RSS Feeds. On the downside, the original feeds do not supply all of the information about the story, and the most important features like a link to the original story, number of diggs and number of comments are missing.

Feeddit solves this problem by giving you all the information and links you want.

Top 5 Blogging Tools for Mac: Tool #1 NewsFire

Posted on 10. Nov, 2008 by Luis Sandoval.

The next series of posts that I will be writing will remain in line with some themes that I wanted to share with everyone following Lost In Technology’s new move to include Apple coverage. In the coming months I will tackle topics to include software for blogging, designing, writing, business, creative, and educational.

My hope is to provide for you the best of what I have found, but also create an open environment for others to share what they use. I’m sure that there are Apple fans out there that want to give their two cents and I gladly welcome it.

The first tool that I want to cover is NewsFire. Typically, prior to writing I look for tools that will help me gather information. Before, I would aimlessly search the net for previous stories written on a topic, or go to the subject matter’s website for more insight from their “About” page. Luckily now a lot of that trouble is saved by subscribing to RSS Feeds.
