Cheers Ian, appreciate the follow up.

It’s this overhead / management which made me pay for that additional feature in feedly, beyond the IFTTT integration (I’ve used the RSS integration previously to set up things like auto tweeters and the like), I was pretty much ok with the free tier. It wasn’t until I paid for this that I realised how much wasn’t getting surfaced due to the 100 blog limit!

Agreed, a proprietary and externally solution isn’t necessarily ideal, but I’m pretty happy with cost vs set-up time etc. I guess the real risk is feedly going the way of Google Reader and having to start the new RSS reader dance all over again, but I guess that’s the nature of webapps 🙁
