RSS will revolutionize the world!!!!11

January 31st, 2007

Ok, so I’m a few years late. Most of my two readers (two more than I had last week!) probably already have a preferred rss reader. Probably NetNewsWire for mac or GreatNews for winblows. However, those are local clients. What if you’re not at your main machine and want to check your feeds? You’ll need another install of said client, but the read history won’t be the same. What’s an rss user to do?

Use Google Reader. Seriously. It’s a pretty slick web 2.0 app that lets you categorize & tag your feeds to your liking. Because it’s a webapp that’s attached to your Google account (used for gmail, gcal, etc.), your read history is the same no matter where in the world you check your news. It’s got oodles of keyboard shortcuts to help you speed through your news. It’s gotten plenty of good reviews. Go ahead and try it out. I’ll even give you a kick start.

Other site stuff: Melinda is now able to post stuff here. Whether she will or not is her decision (as it is my decision to keep or delete them at will ;) ).
