New Feature…
0Ever since ITD started blocking this blog I’ve found it hard to update.
But now thanks to the wonder that is Google Docs I can post from work again!
The new (well to me anyway) feature is “Post to Blog”. I can create my post in GD then publish it to my blog. This makes me a very happy camper.
I wonder how this will look once it’s Posted?
So here we are…
0It’s time to get serious with regards to updating this blog. So I’m going to start posting quite a bit from now on. It may only be one or two posts a week to start with but that will change over time as I get back into the swing of things.
To kick things off.
I’m addicted to Google Reader! It’s a web-based RSS feed aregator that has some features you won’t find anywhere else. The best of which is the ability to share posts with friends via email or with anyone with a Gmail account in your Google address book. Take a look at the GReader articles I’m sharing. I’m only subscribed to 14 feeds at the moment but it is already consuming a vast quantity of my day. Not that I’m complaining mind you 
How did I get into GReader?
I blame Mark Pesce, you may know him from the ABC’s The New Inventors. I feel like I’m stalking him. I’ve subscribed to a few of his feeds (including Twitter), I don’t regret it, even if his Twitter feed does get a bit crazy, but thanks to Mark I am reading some very interesting blogs.Like:
- Alternet.Org – A unique model of journalism to confront the failures of corporate media.
- Brazen Careerist – A great collection of career and life posts.
- Cory Doctorow’s Craphound.Com – A mixture of articles and blog.
- The Fourth Estate – An insightful look at the changing face of the bussiness of media.
- the human network – What happens when we’re all connected?
It is these blogs (and anything eles I find) that will be the source of most of my posts. This isn’t going to be a “link list” or an angst blog, I’ll be talking to and answering the blog posts that spark something me.
I hope you stick around.
