Ask YC: Reading from RSS, keeping track of conversations?

I often subscribe to the comments feed for the article (if one is available). That results in a lot of comment feeds, but they usually peter out after a few days (and I clean house in terms of RSS subscriptions every once in awhile anyway).

That's a good idea but the maintenance on that seems deadly. I may try that out though

Edit: Incidentally, Hacker News doesn't have RSS feed on comments, heh

I do this too. I have bloglines to show only updated feeds so it doesn't clutter up my feed list when the conversation goes dormant.

It really bothers me when blog software doesn't support rss feeds for comments on a specific post. It's a great way to increase the likelihood that you're going to have 1-and-done commenters for non-regular visitors to your site.
