Technology 101
Tuesday, January 9, 2007I'd like to thank Simon Meth and Shally Steckerel for my technological leap today.
Simon had sent me an e-mail in my ERE account on 12/10/06 which I just discovered I had yesterday. Thinking there was probably more out there that I should know about, I started to look around a bit and found a recent post by Shally where he talks about his Google reader. Well, what's all this fuss about a reader I asked myself? Well, I found out today that this is something that will make my life easier, facilitate my blog/post readings and well, it is just plain great! In a matter of minutes I set up my Google Reader with subscriptions to six blogs and now, with just one click I can see what is going on. In less than a minute, I can add additional blogs to my subscriptions . . . .yeah!
The phrase "you don't know what you don't know" seems very appropriate here!

Thank you for thanking me for sending you an email! Glad it sent you on a path of discovery. I also checked out the google reader after Shally's blog. I quite like it but I think I prefer what I was doing before. I use firefox as my browser of choice. I add "live bookmarks" (rss feeds) for all the blogs I like to read. The result is a "tool" bar with all the blogs names listed. When I click on each in turn I see the subject of each blog posting as a drop down list and I just click on the ones that look interesting. It's a really fast way to keep up. Of course this approach means that the subject of each blog is key since I don't see any of the content.
Have a great day!
Simon
