Google Reader!

So, this week I gave Google Reader a try. I had no idea what RSS feeds actually were, or how they worked, so it was with a leap of faith that I gave it a try.

I can also credit my course textbook for giving me some information on what I was about to attempt, of course.

I actually enjoyed that all the updates from sites and blogs that I follow were in one place. It saved me the hassle of having to search down every single site. That also saved me time, which is always nice.

However, some sites and blogs did not feature RSS feeds, so I still had to go chase those down. Less convenient. Also? RSS feeds do not feature comments from the blog posts - and those are half the reason to read the blogs (humour blogs). So that was a disappointment, because I ended up still having to go to the website to read those.
