Yeah, so I lured you here with promises of indiscretion. I tried out a new aggregator named Pluck and I have been using it for about a week now and I can't really sing it's praises. The problems I have encountered are:
- It seems to slow my entire machine down.
- It doesn't update me when there are new comments.
- There seems to be a few visual bugs. Sometimes, when I start Pluck (it runs in your browser; novel idea, eh?), it shows the feeds I am subscribed to but when I want to look at the contents of those feeds, it doesn't show me anything. This could be a “feature“ that is hiding an error with the feed. If there is an error, I want to know about it.
- The pupose of using the browser as the interface seems to be subscription-based clicking. If you click on an rss feed, it automatically adds it to your subscriptions. This is bad for two reasons: 1) I may not WANT to subscribe to this feed. 2) It doesn't work. When I want to subscribe to a feed, I usually have to click the link two or three times.
- I haven't been able to figure out how to import/export my feed list.
If you have used Pluck successfully, please let me know. Maybe I am just not doing it right! Until then, I can't recommend the product to anyone. I think I will give it a few more days and then
