After setting up a Wordpress blog recently I've become more acquainted with RSS feeds. Before I rarely bothered checking or subscribing to my favorite sites' feeds. Now I'm afraid I'm on the road to becoming a full-fledged RSS addict.
I was in Barnes & Noble today checking out nerdy computer books and came across a giant Google guide. In it they showcased the Google Reader, a web-based RSS aggregator. I just checked it out and it is AWESOME. I never thought web-based applications would be any good, but Google has won me over. First with Gmail and now with this fantastic reader.
It's fantastic to have all my favorite sites' RSS feeds available to me at any computer. And for extra Google flash: whenever a new item gets added to a feed Google Reader flashes the name of the feed in the list. Pure class!
Leave it to me to end my 8-month or so posting drought with something tech-related.

Thank you for introducing me to Google Reader! I tend to be wary of Google's eagerness to Do Everything Better than Anyone (seriously, I'm expecting Google to start making cars soon) but this thing is really handy. I like the color scheme and how it's organized. Some blogs look better than others, but you said that was how the individual blogs were set up, so I won't blame Google for that.
Great post to get back in the groove!
