Thing #8 - RSS Feeds & Bloglines


I set up my Google Reader with my frequently checked blogs and sites listed.  I will give it a try to see if I continue to expand my list, now that I have a place to keep them together. Previously, I bookmarked the sites I regularly visited;  now I can just go to the Reader page.  

I will see if there is a way to change its appearance.  My eyes don't like the clutter and the assumptions the Reader conveys.  I want to eliminate unwanted categories and uninvited chatter.  I'm always trying to reduce clutter and simplify; this Reader seems to want to add more and more to my time spent at the computer.  

The lure of the computer -- everything I've always wanted to know and be aware of -- is there . . . but what about stepping away from the screen and focusing on the life, patterns, sounds around me.

Thing #1 and Thing #2 and . . .

These are my reflections for an on-line "class" I'm taking in web 2.0.  The titles refer to assignments.
