I decided a couple of weeks ago that I wanted to try some type of RSS feed reader. I was getting tired of visiting my friend’s blogs only to find that they still hadn’t updated after several days. I love visiting your blogs, my friends, don’t get me wrong. Still, clicking on every single blog takes time. I have to wait for the page to load, then if there’s nothing new, I have to click back to my homepage and click on the next blog in the list. It just takes too long. Usually, I just want to glance and see if there is anything new, so I decided to try some type of blog reader. I opted for Google because I don’t know much about RSS feeds, and Google is pretty user friendly. I LOVE IT! I click on my reader link and instantly I’m transported to a page that lists all of my favorite blogs, and it also tells me what is new! Then, if I want to comment, I can just click on the blog link and head over to do so! It’s wonderful. This is going a very long way in the Yahoo! vs. Google debate. If you aren’t using Google reader, I recommend you give it a try. It really is cool!
i’ve been using bloglines the past several weeks. it’s soo nice. i still click on non-updated blogs sometimes, just for the fun of it, but i love the quick glance at what’s new and subscribing to blogs that make me think without having to link them to my blog…
Is that your way of telling me I need to blog more? 🙂
Emily, I’ve thought about Bloglines, but I haven’t tried it yet. I’ll have to check it out.
Jai, I was very careful not to mention any names. I even refrained from linking to your, I mean, any particular blog in the post.
Ha ha ha. Well, I’m about to start class on Monday, which means I’ll be busy with homework, which means I’ll have compelling urges to procrastinate, which (hopefully) means I’ll blog more. 🙂
