It would be a shame if it were like Google Reader, but the description says it's like Firefox's Live Bookmarks, so it seems unlikely that your right. Have you tried it?

It just adds a toolbar button with a popup to contain the headlines. I can't imagine a more annoying way of reading feeds. Is Google Reader just as bad?

I take it that your two-word post was just some sort of tic, and that you don't actually mean to discuss the similarities or differences between the Chrome extension and Google Reader. > Google Reader is the best of the lot. Thanks again for adding your valuable insights to every single thread, no matter what it's about.

Whose problem do you consider your incomprehensible posts to be? FWIW, you've just confirmed that it *was* just a tic and that you don't actually mean to discuss similarities or differences between them. But it would be so much easier if you'd just use things like verbs and subjects in your sentences. > I wouldn't use Live Bookmarks to read feeds as the results are very > poor. I don't care what you would or wouldn't use, as long as the most thoughtful thing you have to say about either of them is "very poor" or "wonderful". It's that kind of valuable analysis you're known for and which helps so many people. > If you are going to read feeds, I recommended Google Reader. Nope, you just read a description of a feed extension for Chrome and responded by saying "Google Reader". Perhaps people who read all your Google-related posts would recognize it as your uncontrollable Google-lust bubbling over again, but I didn't spot it at first. I apologize for thinking you might have had something to say. > hth (but I think not. It's no longer helpful for you to say "Bottoms loves everything Google" dozens of times a day. Everybody knows that. Nobody knows why, though. > You aren't trying to be reasonable as it is difficult for you.) I asked you reasonable questions, but you don't seem to have any actual thoughts about the extension in this thread or about the reader your favorite company in the whole wide world provides.

There are plenty of people who are able to back up their opinions with some thoughtful discussion, and that's useful. > If I mentioned a particular program, and someone said they knew of a > program that was better...I would check it out for myself. Do you know of something for Chrome that's better than this extension for displaying feeds in a similar way to Fx Live Bookmarks? Sorry to bring you back to the topic of the thread, but you had derailed it when you blurted out "Google" for no apparent reason. |
