anychance I might be able to add RSS feeds to my digsby?

I use google reader alot (like every minute!) but i dont see why it shouldn’t be an option on digsby.

I think it would be great to be notified of new posts.

I’m still having trouble adding yahoo messenger buddies in digsby. I haven’t tried adding anyone from other mediums yet, but digsby keeps giving me an error:

“YahooError: there was an error in adding buddy (username)”

every time I authorize and add somebody I get this, every time, this has been a bug for awhile now

@freibooter: We did do a redirect for the old URL and the link on the blog still does point at it. We just wanted to let people know of the change and give them the option of changing the URL.

While I appreciate the warning, wouldn’t it be far better to simply redirect the current URL to the feedburner-feed via .htaccess? That would not require a warning like this and everybody will simply automatically use feedburner’s feed.
You could simply keep the current feed-urls as official feed-links with all the benefits you get from feedburner that way AND you wouldn’t make yourself depended on a third-party-service. Whenever Google decides to make changes to feedburner that you would be unconfortable with you just remove the redirect.
