time saver
Posted by Sherry on May 28, 2008
If you’re a veteran blog reader, you probably already have your favorite sites in a “feed reader.” I’ve been reading blogs a long time, but I’ve been slow in subscribing to the reader Mauri’s been using for a while now. But I finally got inspired, and logged on to newsgator.com. I love the dramatic sound of this statement: It revolutionized my blog reading! Oh my, my—I’m a believer! It took only one rerun of Monk minus commercials to copy the addresses of my favorite blogs and add them as feeds in newsgator. Whereas I used to go down my list of bookmarked blogs, opening each one to see if something new was posted, now I click on newsgator and it tells me if a new post has been added to any of my feeds. I click on it and can read it right there in the window, even the pictures. If I want to go to the site, I’m there in one more click.
If I’m the last person online to discover this amazing time saver, well you can all have a good har-dee har on me. But if my enthusiasm inspires you to check it out, then all the words I’ve typed have not been in vain.
I just started using Google Reader about a month ago (Michael has been using it forever). It saves so much time and I don’t miss any blogs that I like to read.
