QuickSub = Very Bad
OK, I don’t mean to slam the product. See, what it does is popup a pretty, dynamic list of XML subscription programs and options and so forth that let the user select the right one for him:
Unfortunately, that’s a bit of a bad thing. People create standards, like the feed:// protocol, so that readers don’t have to ever see this–they just click a feed:// link and their favorite program opens it, because it’s registered itself as an official protocol handler. Standards!!! They make the user experience seamless.

The problem is that the “feed” protocol is not officially registered anywhere PLUS it does not solve the problem for web based readers.
