My toot reminding people about RSS feed readers got some attention, so I thought I’d re-up this thing I wrote thirteen years ago:
“Finding a great writer is way better than finding a great post.”

However wonderful it is to find a great post, it’s much better to find a great writer. Back in the day when more people used RSS feed readers, it was perfectly ordinary to find a great post, and then click on the writer so you could add their feed to your feed reader.
I’d like to see the return of those days. Use an RSS feed reader again, and when you find a great post, you too can check out what else the writer writes, and if you like their other stuff too, go ahead and follow them.
