Thing 28

Google Reader (GR) is my personal playtime RSS. I had set it up back in Thing 6 & 7. (I loved it so much I let myself get distracted off the 23 Things. It is much easier doing just one Thing a month.) I get to GR most days on break or lunch/supper hour or after hours (like now). I added the NE Learns 2.0 Link to GR although I also have it on Bloglines (my business one). I added bookFields and learning new things for my fellow participant's blogs although I find it easier to follow blogs in Blogger itself. All I have to do is click on the name of the blog and it comes up with the most recent first.

I play around with my feeds every once in a while, organizing, deleting, redoing (like my major overhaul of the DarkGate Comic Slurper, and I'm still missing 2 comics and then 1 other repeats 7 times the same day, auugh) and adding. My adds for September are Bernat, The Knitting Yarn and CartoonSmart.com Blog. I will need a new folder for the Crafts.

I have added 4 shared items and used the Send to option for them. They show above my followers in this blog.

I really like GR over Bloglines in one important (for me) aspect. When you look at a feed in GR it will let you know how many more items you have not looked at in this feed, but in Bloglines it makes everything "read" and sometimes I have to skim through it very fast. But GR will not keep things indefinately. I learned that recently also. It will dump anything you haven't read when it is a month old.
