Poll: How do you consume HN?

I thought this would be helpful to see where everyone is reading HN from.

    I don't think many people who read HN monthly will respond...

    Isn't this poll going to be extremely biased towards people reading it on the main site, since that's the only place you can comment? :)

    Shameless plug: I'm still using the realtime UI I showed here a few weeks ago (http://hackerstream.com, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2301871)

    People sometimes think it's only useful if you're consuming HN all the time, but it turns out it's just another random slice of HN, one that's guaranteed to be all new no matter how often you check.

    I use both the site and the rss feed into Google Reader. I use the site throughout the day to keep track of anything important rising to the top and then use the RSS feed to make sure I didnt miss anything critical as well as to archive for search with all my other online "memories" in Reader.

    I only see stories over 100 points via: http://news.ycombinator.com/over?points=100

    ...except if I get bored on a Friday and look at new topics, which explains how I saw this link in the first place...

    I get a daily email made from the RSS feed. That way I can quickly scroll through things (clicking on the links that seem interesting) and know that I haven't missed anything without junking up Google Reader.

    I reader headlines in Reader. If it's compelling I click into comments/link.

    hckrnews.com for me.

    Wow. A sobering reminder to me that even for a tech-savvy readership, only about ten percent are using RSS. Maybe this warrants another survey on why people don't use RSS.

    Via a Xoom port of Amir's HNdroid, but I haven't added poll support yet so I can't vote. :-)

    There's like 10 jewels an hour, executing a good digest would be a big challenge ... :)

    Twitter feed is useful as well.

  • by auxbuss on 3/25/2011, 10:37 PM

    Up'd rss feed, but I do it via the Newsfox plug-in in FF.

  • by allard on 3/25/2011, 4:08 PM

    mostly via Reader, occasionally via mobile app

  • by riskish on 3/25/2011, 4:21 PM

    if anyone wants me to add a choice let me know

    I would like to know how to subscribe RSS feeds of the comments of the individual stories (not all comments, but comments on the threads like this one).
