Published December 29, 2008 | By admin

A feed reader is supposed to speed things up. You donâ€™t have to visit the blog to read whatâ€™s been published.

Thatâ€™s how mine started and somehow I have managed to collect over 2000 feeds which I have categorized along the way: Read more... (428 words, 3 images, estimated 1:43 mins reading time)

The Ultimate DoFollow Blog List

Published July 26, 2008 | By admin

I figured I had to go over the top with this one. Not quite sure if I have. You tell me.

I have been using Fast Blog Finder to find dofollow blog posts for me. It helps and then it doesn’t. I don’t spam. I like getting beneficial links back to my site. I use tools like this because they simplify the process. But sometimes the posts are a little bit old. And I am not quite sure of the etiquette involved. Is an older post OK to comment on? I could see refering to it from a blog post. But after a post has 20 comments, how much do you really add to the conversation if it has ended? Read more...

7 Very Cool Free Desktop Feed Readers

Published July 20, 2008 | By admin

I have been so wrapped up lately trying to replace desktop software with web apps that I haven’t looked into desktop feed readers for a long time. I used Firefox live marks until I realized that 700 feeds will slow down the browsing experience.

After that I went to Google Reader and have kept my feeds there for a while. I maxed out Google Reader with Monkeyscripts to the point it runs real lyslow and then I went to the mobile version in the sidebar of Flock. Read more... (910 words, 2 images, estimated 3:38 mins reading time)

Feed Consolidation for Niche Blogs

Published June 30, 2008 | By admin

One of the first things you want to do when starting a new blog is find the neighborhoods that you will hang out in when you are working on your blog. These will be the blogs you comment on, get news from and reference when writing the posts on your own blog.

Google Reader

I am a Google Reader junkie. I use it in the browser, in the sidebar, in iGoogle, and on the phone when I am bored in waiting rooms. It is fast and a very useful tool. And I found it a necessity to use someone else’s processing power after the feeds in my OPML file grew to the size of over 700 individual feeds. Live bookmarks just isn’t going to do the job. And this was just my reading list for this blog and Digital Products Review. Read more... (995 words, 1 image, estimated 3:59 mins reading time)

Your Opinion on Reblogging

Published March 14, 2008 | By admin

I don’t like rehashing. Most of the time I wait until I had something to add to a topic before I jump in, whether it be a new technique or some research results or maybe just a point of view, which may be closer to an attitude. I’ll leave that to you to define. Read more... (664 words, 1 image, estimated 2:39 mins reading time)

Creating a Feed Reading Matrix

Published October 24, 2007 | By admin

How you view your feeds depends on what you want them to do for you. I have used so many feed readers that did not agree with me. The first one I stuck with for a little while was Rojo, because at the time it was the only one that would sort feed items by date. Other feed readers would sort specific feeds by date, but I wanted the newest post out of all the feeds to float to the top and then on to the next newest item. I have about 600 feeds I subscribe to and no time to click each feed to find out if there were new posts. Read more... (615 words, estimated 2:28 mins reading time)
