This is What an RSS Reader is For
Yesterday Robert Scoble wrote a critical post claiming Chris Brogan was using Twitter wrong, stating Chris isn’t separating his content on Twitter well enough. As one who had to create multiple Twitter accounts to separate out my activity, I am one of the first to support this method. As it stands though, even I will […]
Read more...Google’s Walled Garden
Among the things Robert Scoble is good at he is definitely good at getting us bloggers talking. Today he shared on Posterous (which I am subscribed and read in Google Reader) his reasons for not using Google Reader any more. Robert was the one that got me into Google Reader in the first place, so […]
Read more...Goodbye RSS. Welcome Real-Time Web!
A few weeks back I mentioned here that I was giving myself a whole week without a single check of my Google Reader feeds in order to see how reliant I had become on RSS, and where I could shift my priorities in order to become more productive. It’s a technique I tried last year […]

Some of my best comments are made via my Google Reader Link blog. I often avoid writing about already-written stories because there are so many better ways to do it. I often comment on FriendFeed, and where I have an opinion, I write about it as a Note in my Google Reader shared items, which […]
Read more...Happy Blog Day 2008
For those unaware, today is “Blog Day“, a day intended to allow bloggers to share their favorite blogs in hopes that readers can diversify the blogs they currently read and learn of other unknowns that they may not yet be subscribed to. I figure I’d join in on the cause several others have joined today, […]
Read more...I’m Listening to Your Comments, I Promise!
I just realized I was missing about a week’s worth of comments from this blog. It looks like Google Reader at some point stopped tracking the comments (which is how I knew you were commenting), and I missed a few great ones, including one from BJ Fogg, whom I look up to. My apologies if […]
