You are in my Google Reader and I always enjoy your posts! Keep up the good work. I read a number of other mobile tech blogs daily. Your site distinguishes itself because it does not just rehash the latest mobile tech news. You always manage to add your perspective to the new and also you draw upon your own experiences with a range of tech gadgets and applications.

Same! Google Reader for iPhone (and now on a full desktop to reply this thread! :-P)
I rarely access any gadget sites directly since using RSS. One of the gadget sites I subscribe to does “teasers” instead of the full article and I jump to the site for the rest of the article maybe once per month.
One of the bad things about that is that I don’t get to read comments, but I subscribe to too many feeds to have time to read comments and for many sites the comments are not worth reading.
Michael P. is right on the money about you guys and how this site is different from the others.
Since I will receive notification of follow-ups, I don’t have to come back here. :)
Sorry but I want to add something else here. RSS is great and I find that I can consume more news than ever, but it does create a disconnect between the reader and the writer. Now that I think about it the number of times I comment on an article has dropped to almost zero since I started using RSS. Are websites becoming obsolete?
No… comments are. Just kidding! :) You set yourself up for that one! I believe that RSS is continuing to gain wider acceptance so I don’t think your situation is unique. Add in social sites like FriendFeed where you can comment on stories and even more of the conversation is de-centralized. That makes it tougher to follow IMO, but there’s still plenty of good commentary coming from websites. It just happens that it’s not all ON websites.
