I've got RSS setup and Pluck installed, but after a month, I've never even bothered to look at it again...just not enough "to the point" material and just another information interface to have to deal with. So far, I haven't gotten much out of RSS...but that may just be me...
My primary interface for info is email...I'm in it all day everyday with clients, CF-Talk, etc., and having the info come there is much better for me...consolidation of sources takes less time for me to parse information. "Enter email..." would be perfect. However, I don't like emails that address more than one specific point at a time. I would much rather have the topics come to me with the title and description *as they are entered* than have one email come to me with 15 different topics to have to deal with...same way I prefer getting a continuous stream of CF-Talk rather than a digest...I would have to parse through everything in the digest to see if there was anything of value or interest to me. With constant streams of single topic emails, I can tell just by looking at the subject line whether to glance at the preview pane or quickly hit the delete key.
