Thing 5-a

I like having the Reader bring the webpage feeds to me instead of the way I was doing the webpages before! I used to list all these (probably 100+) websites in "My Favorites, scroll down whenever I had time to browse the Internet, and click just to see what was up...so I wasted a lot of time actually when there were no updates, without realizing it! Now I do!

The feeds come in, some fast and furious...did anyone else get the feed for the Weather Channel! Ha! I went on this morning and there were 100+ feeds...seems they update the site for my Lilburn location (and no doubt every other location) about every 20 minutes!!! That is a lot!
It was very funny! And do I really want to clcik and see last Monday's weather prediction! LOL!

I did discover a great feed for European news...I added that. I also found a couple more personal interest feeds for my faith group...we're relatively small and scattered, and many are using blogs to communicate and stay in touch. It will be much easier for me to just sit back and wait for updates! Hooray!

I visited a few of your blogs as well, as directed to do so, and it was fun. Of course, a few haven't caught up yet or have left the course perhaps (???)...so that was disappointing.

Still learning...still reflecting...
Am I ready for Thing 6? I think it's about Diigo, and I am already "into" that one, hanks to Caroline here at the PDC. Time to check that out now!

  1. Scott, you may want to take a look at the Google spreadsheet to see who has dropped the course so you can unsubscribe from their blogs. I have marked through their names, but did not remove the links (not all of them anyway) from the 23Things wiki. I need to remove them from my reader, too come to think of it.

    Hey, I guess if you were trying to track weather trends then being able to see last Monday's weather prediction in your reader might prove useful. :)
