Yes and I use google reader through iGoogle as well.

A lot of my friends and family don't know what they are.

I use bloglines for a reader. I tried others but this one is the best in my own opinion. I'm looking for something more organized though.

I read blogs mostly, but I do subscribe to podcasts, but for those I use itunes and youtube.

I don't really use RSS feeds at all. I tried for a while but I've never really got the hang of it.

I use RSS feeds on my social networking sites (MySpace, etc...) with Springwidgets. I have subscriptions with Current.tv, Wired.com and, ofcourse, EPIC-FU. I also subscribe to quite a few podcasts on iTunes. Not many of my friends use RSS.

I use "live bookmarks" built-in to Firefox.

Well, I when I settle on a MP3 player (creative zen), I will get back on itunes as my podcast downloader. So, currently, I use the Live Bookmarks in Firefox to "see" if there is anything new, then click the link if I find it interesting.

Depending on what you "saved" as a Live bookmark, it would either start playing in a helper app (like quicktime or realplayer), or take you to the page where you can find a download link.

I started out with a 3rd party joint called NetNewsWire, but, after awhile wasn't digging the fact that it was an application and I couldn't access my feeds online. Moved into Bloglines, but, the designer in me found the interface and UI just "ugly". Touched down on Google Reader a while ago and haven't looked back since it started working well in Safari's browser (used to only be snappy in Firefox). Anything better out there?

I use google reader. I haven't used an RSS feed reader outside of it and I'm thinking that maybe I should check out a few others just to see if there are any features that I'm missing, but Google Reader does such a good job of putting it together that I haven't considered that I might be missing more. I used to use iGoogle as well until I realized that I just don't use my google home page enough to justify using it.

For the most part it's blog feeds and information about the NFL/sports (most of which are blogs as well lol). The ones that I check that get the most love are epic fu's (of course!), seth godin's, major nelson and post secrets (all blogs of course). I'm pretty addicted to my RSS feeder lol.
