Google bomb-diggady Reader

Introducing my new favorite thing...

The other day I was chatting with my roommate long-distance (she is in Argentina) and she mentioned something about it-- and instantly I was intrigued. (Jenn- this post is a shout out thank you!) You see, dispite my utterly obvious lack of blog posting here on this small nitche of the web, I DO read many of the blogs that you out there post regularly-- almost too regularly. Even though I have the majority of them bookmarked and RSSed, I still find myself checking often to see if there have been updates-- just like I USED to often to see if I have email (I think it was a compulsion). I say used to because now I have a notifier that tells me when I get email and what it is-- so I know instantly if it is worth reading right away. Wouldn't it be cool if there was an "inbox" like your email inbox that was just for new blog posts???!

Enter Google Reader.

This thing is awesome. All you do is enter the blog addresses that you frequent, and when a new post has been made, it will automatically show up in your "inbox". No longer do I have to visit each individual blog to see if and when people have posted, but I have a one stop place to check them all. Even myspace blogs! (supposedly, although, I have yet to figure out how that one works)

This is perfect for me at work because I don't have the time, nor am I quite sure I should be having all your blog addresses clogging my work internet history. I can now check once or twice a day during my breaks-- if any new, inspiring posts have come in. Also, for those bloggers-- like myself-- who don't post regularly... well, now you don't have to guess when they post. It's just there with all the regulars. And if you have a google sign-in-- which I'm thinking most of you do if you use blogger these days-- you just use the same login! The biggest pain is the initial setup, but you will be glad you took the time. So what are you waiting for...
