Readers

The assignment for this blog was to go to Google Reader or RSS and start an account. I have most of my work on Google so I started the Google Reader.
After I watched the tutorial on Google Reader and RSS I took the precaution that it can be addicting. I went to my favorite web sites, those having to do with Hawaiian Issues and added them to my Google Reader. While they do not have a lot of movement or daily posts, it was nice to just check the Google Reader and see the newest articles when they did post, instead of me having to constantly check to see if there is anything new and sometimes missing events when I didnʻt check.
Currently I am visiting family in Boise, Idaho. I have not been able to keep up with what has been happening at home in Hawaii. I added the new Hawaii paper to my subscription list, The StarAdvertiser. I have been able to just scroll through daily and read the articles that interest me.
I also have all the web pages that I am following from our class listed on the reader. Instead of me having to go to each individual page to see what has been written, Google reader gives updates of when people post.
This has been a great tool for saving time from clicking on to several places, I can just go to one source. It was also good advice from the tutorial to not become addicted to just sitting there for hours.
