I stumbled upon
Google Reader a few weeks ago after someone that I follow in Twitter Tweeted about how far behind they were on theirs. Being the crazy online person that I am - I seriously do not know what people did before the internet - I of course had to go and check it out. Admittedly I was a little skeptical at first, I think mainly because setting it up takes a bit of time in that you have to search and find blogs or sites that you want to "subscribe" to. But once you get past that part, Google Reader is to an information maniac what table crumbs are to Chloe - pure, unadulterated HEAVEN. I mean, just imagine everything you could every be interested on the internet - from business blogs, to fox news, to magazines, to whatever, all consolidated into one place. No longer do I have to bookmark sites that I like - which is great, because bookmarking to me is much like email organization - I create these great folders, but then end up clumping everything into one folder or else putting information on my cable bill in with my electric bill. In other words...I can never find ANYTHING. So my Google Reader is great, everything I could ever want to read about, all in one place. I can skim over stuff, stop and read more in depth, or click to get to the web page so I can surf around it for awhile. Then, once I'm done, I "Mark all as read" and poof, they're gone. Google Reader - an abundant source of happiness for you information junkies out there! I highly recommend it!
Here's just a few pictures from the articles in my Google Reader for today. Talk about ecclectic!
