The Best 5 RSS Feeds of the week ( Staff Picks )
The best of the RSS feeds, Slide Reader team recommends.
Sometimes, we at the Slide Reader development team, think we’re a bunch of weird guys.
Reason?
a) We have an insatiable appetite for finding new websites and testing them on Slide Reader.
b) While others just skim for content on a new website, we dig deeper, to the extent that we run straight for the RSS feed, rip it apart, put it together and render it out on Slide Reader !
Well, we do it quite often these days that whenever there’s a new website found, this is the drill.
The fact is that our quality standards for an RSS feed is way above the average. And we love feeds with rich media, like images, videos and the like. Slide Reader was built to render rich RSS media feeds, and it’s a pleasure for us to add more of such.
Every week, our staff will pick the best of RSS feeds they discovered and share it with Slide Reader users here. Here are our best feeds for the week. Do let us know of better ones, and we’d love to rip it apart..err..try them.
No.1 - Boston.com, The Big Picture
Category - Photography
We're big fans of the Big Picture at Boston. A concept that revolutionized photo journalism, Boston stands unique with its "photo stories". They have a very rich RSS feed, and we love it. Obviously the number one this week.
No.2 - LifeHacker.com

This is one website you can't skip. Gina Tripani and her team delivers amazingly "life changing" stories every day and what we like is the rich media in their RSS. Images, Videos...its got all of that.
No.3 - Esquire.com

Fashion, Entertainent, Celeb stuff and a lot more... Esquire falls into many brackets. And their RSS feed ? One of the best out there. Lot of content and daily updates. Must subscribe.

If its fun, its The Chive. We like it for the pictures though. The best website in the world ? May be, but one of the best RSS feeds for sure.

Your one stop window to the social media, web world. Pete Cashmore and his team makes sure that their RSS feeds are rich and compatible on all platforms. Don't even ask if we love them.
