I have thought about this before. As someone who would never use Facebook, I want to judge the Facebook—centric view of the web, but then I think about how I live my entire online existence around an RSS reader (Feedly in my case). There’s obviously a level of manipulation in Facebook that isn’t present in an RSS reader, but I understand the mindset of setting a central portal in the online world.
Having different sites'feeds you look at in an RSS reader is different though. In my case I have over 500 of them. I continue to add and remove whenever a feed breaks or sites stop updating.
