The feed reader is the fast food joint of the reading experience, but I want the farmer’s market, the slow-cooked greens, the home-baked bread. I don’t want to feed, I want to eat, with all the attendant history that word evokes—the flavor, the company, the time.
Mandy Brown masterfully articulates how feed reading and unread counts have turned reading into a rushed chore, rather than something to savour and enjoy.
Congratulations on making it to the footer. You're either a really good scroller or actually enjoy some of the things I have to say. If you're itching for more, you can peruse the archives to find something new, or make yourself at home and stick around awhile.
If you're really into this whole Michael Mistretta guy, feel free to check out the colophon page for the low-down or shoot him an email introducing yourself.
