Hey,

I was wondering how well known and read the Ubuntu Fridge is...
Do YOU read it?
Do you find it interesting?
Were you aware of it?
What is your overall feeling about it?

My impression is that it lacks some visibility...

I check it at least once a week, but I usually get the stories off Planet Ubuntu. I do agree that it's not something most users are probably aware of, which is too bad. They have some great stories, and I love the weekly news.

Where's this Fridge, is there chilled beer in it?

I have the RSS feed in my feed reader. So I read it over every once in a while. The interviews are always interesting.

Whoa, beer in the fridge? I must read more often. Really, I think I read stuff from the fridge when it's linked from Digg. Then I'm like, "oh yeah, the fridge",

I accidentally click it maybe once or twice a year. =]

"once in a while" - because planet ubuntu has more interesting news on development and various stuff.

I find planet Ubuntu (http://planet.ubuntu.com) much more interesting, and easier to read. It seems like the fridge is just a list of weekly newsletters, which are not complete, you have to click on the link to read them.
I've also started to read Planet Ubuntu Users (http://ubuntuweblogs.org).

The fridge would be more useful to me if it had a mailing list... there may actually be one, but I'm not aware of it.

You might want to include a link to it before referring to "this Ubuntu Fridge"! :)

I have Evolution subscribed to the (excellently maintained) event calendar on there, so I guess one could say I use it all the time :)

Stupid way to navigate, if you ask me. I should have been on a page that showed me this week's with links to previous week's editions.

Looks boring, closed it.

Oh look a shiny thing!!!!

I also have it as an RSS feed, so I keep an eye on it, but I have over 100 feeds, so I'm not sure how often I actually read the items from the Fridge.
