True Confessions

Okay, here it goes. I was always a little threatened by RSS feeds, bloglines, all those tools for grouping frequently visited sites into one easily read feed page. It must be hard to set up, right? Anything that cuts your surfing time in half and wraps up sites into a nice, tighty little package, must take hours to assemble, or at least be so complicated that I would immediately be threatened by the techy vernacular. How pleasantly surprised was I to find that setting up bloglines was even easier than starting a blog?! Friends of mine who blog have had them for what seems like an eternity and I always said "well, I don't check that many blogs, so I don't really need them" But now with Library 2.0 taking place my blog viewage time has increased threefold. Which makes me all the more thankful that the bloglines were so easy to set up! Seriously, seriously love the bloglines. I can go to my feed page and within about 10 seconds check all new updates when before it took pry 10 minutes to go from blog to blog checking for new posts and inevitably getting caught up re-reading part of an old post and generally wasting time looking at something I had looked at before. Not any more! I'm a lean, mean, surfing machine! Oh, sorry, that was so bad, but it just came pouring out of my fingers onto the keyboard.
