Most "consume" the feeds by just using the default ability of Internet Explorer to read RSS (not an external web-based feed reader like Google Reader). Looking forward to an Outlook 2007 upgrade (RSS functionality) so that we can stop some of the e-mail distributions of these announcements we do. The feeds are all generated by ColdFusion as described in Pete Freitag article here: http://www.petefreitag.com/item/465.cfm We use RSS feeds in multitude of ways:

I will get the updated OPML file from coldfusionbloggers.org site that will get almost all the coldfusion blogs for me. -- David R Hi Jim,

I use the “Sage” add-on(https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/77) for FireFox, also the outlook express in tandem.

I will get the updated OPML file from coldfusionbloggers.org site that will get almost all the coldfusion blogs for me.

Because of CF I'm now using Twitter (TweetDeck) and here I'm a folower of cfbloggers and also some of the CF-Gurus and so I get all of the necessary CF-updates out there ;-) also Google Reader, but I’m cinsuming way too much RSS, so I can’t read all of them – I think I should delete some of them.
