The first thing I needed to do was get the name right… Voyage is a RSS feed reader not a starship in the Star Trek fleet. Initially I had trouble adding my feeds however, under manage your feeds just click the add feed link and paste in the URL of the desired RSS feeds.
Next I had to figure out how to find the feed once they were added. For me it wasn’t intuitive – once I discovered that you can use the bars on the time-line to change the dates or your mouse wheel (it does say this on the start page but I didn’t read it) it was quite simple to find archived and recent posts.
It was easier to understand the functionality once I deleted all the default feeds and just worked with the ones I wanted.
The site looks great and I like the way the feeds wiz around. Again I think it warrants more play to work out what I like and don’t. I currently use Google Reader which is very simple and intuitive so I will reserve judgment for now.
Of course I added my own blog and the with the design and font used by Voyage my haiku look really impressive.
So far the issues I have are:
- It takes a while to load
- Not intuitive to use
- Couldn’t find any help menu
