Thing #3

Goggle Reader set-up - check, RSS feeds flowing - check.

I signed up for a few feeds through the Goggle news feed bundles and quickly deleted some of them after seeing how many hits they had in just a few minutes - this could quickly become overwhelming! I also subscribed to a librarian blog feed, and the NYTimes movie reviews (got to have those!) When I logged into my account today, I saw recommendations for more feeds based on the ones I've subscribed to - shades of Netflix.

Ran across an interesting post from the Shifted Librarian about Google Gears. It allows you to load up your feeds, go offline and read them. A nice feature for laptop users but you have to google Google to find it. The FAQs say it's not for general use???
