“It is relaxing to read in Cullect.”

Laurie McGinley has been putting Cullect through the paces this week curating Reading List 204, I asked her how it was going. Her full email reponse is below (emphasis mine):

“I am giving Cullect the most challenging test I can think of: show me photos I really like.

Most photo blogs don’t have a ton of text and I generally don’t care what the text says. So far I like the photos Cullect is pushing to the top.

I find myself reading slowly. I like that.

I’m in the habit of j-j-j-jaying in Google Reader. That tends to put me on edge a little.

I can tell that I am slowing down a little more every time I login to Cullect. It is relaxing to read in Cullect.

I really like how smooth the interface is, but it was too challenging to get set up. Honestly, if I hadn’t seen you gracefully zoom about the interface that same day, I think I would have given up.

There are a few things that could be more user people friendly like:

  • How to import an OPML file
  • How to import an OPML file if you don’t have access to upload yours to a server
  • It would be nice to see what the reading lists contained before I click on them. The numbers don’t mean anything to me. I would like to be able to name my reading list.

I haven’t explored much beyond my own reading list, but I am still very engaged and playing”.

Laurie’s impressions are consistent with what I hear from other people that have immigrated to Cullect: a more relaxing feed reading experience with room for improvement.
