Week two - This time it's hyperlinked


Week two has swung around and here I am, late for my 23 things meeting and blogging from the office instead.
As far as this weeks tasks go (feeling a little BB there) I delved into the world of RSS feeds and came back surprised.
Back in my pseudo tech days I really felt they were the property of the slashdot crowd, a main line for the netscape crowd, you know the guys that know how much RAM a given process takes etc.
To my surprise, they have evolved a great deal and I can see the functionality for a lot of people.
The biggest questions I have seen so far this week are along the lines of :
Ok, so I subscribed but do I have to go to google reader to do get the info?

In answer Kathryn has had some great responses, with options to install in igoogle, outlook and some 3rd party readers.

I myself have found the google reader add on in firefox a help, but it does add a little pressure when I see the little counter slowly rise.

I have made it a personal goal to read everyone's blog weekly and offer my two cents to the equations (after all I have never been accused of being a wallflower)..... so ultimately you will probably see me post to your blog at some point.

The other question I hear is the same that I have, ok I'm hooked in to the info but where do I find the time?

It's easy to subscribe but harder to digest.

And the choice, do I read something interesting from the lighthouse blog, from the networking blog or just play a game of spider solitaire when I have a few minutes :)
Even better read a little webcomic :

userfriendly

pearls before swine

dinosaur comics

So is it really a question of tech or procrastination?
I guess thats one of my obstacles to overcome with the 23 things.

Course, if you have some spare time on your hands, you could always do something constructive :

Giant tetris

Until next week
