Otherwise, I run the risk of getting distracted too much if I receive an email I am interested in when I am working on something else. I prefer to go to the site & read whenever I am in the mood and have the time of doing so. I prefer going directly to the site whenever I have a little time to read the new posts.

As far as I am concerned it almost makes the feed worthless. All it is doing at this point is letting you know there is a new post to read. If all you send is a headline and short blurb then email is better than rss. I really do dislike sites that do not publish full feeds. As far as I am concerned it almost makes the feed worthless.

I just organise my bookmarks in firefox and check my favourite sites daily. Just seems easier for me that way. Might give RSS readers another go though, any recommendations? I don't really want any more emails each day :) (he says clicking the follow up by email option) Never really got on with RSS readers, maybe I just didn’t use the right one.

That said, I do prefer going to an actual site if the article is interesting.

I believe a good % of my readers are other bloggers looking for content. However, when you see the huge 70K+ readers of coolest gadgets I wonder what the % breakdown is.

It would great to know what percentage of normal surfers (not readers of SEO/SEM/Internet tech blogs)really use RSS. Is it almost all or almost none?
