I just started using Google Reader instead of going to each site on a long list of bookmarks and feeds. Like any other bit of technology, my admitting to using it immediately makes you think I'm either a futuristic computer geek or a woefully behind-the-times idiot. Either way, I like this tool and plan to continue using it.
Google Reader lets me share items of interest, and a cool widget lets me put a few of those in a sidebar to my blog. So now instead of making a new post just to share a few links with thin commentary, I can just share them and anyone who cares can check out the sidebar, the entire list, or even subscribe to the feed.

I label you as a woefully behind-the-times idiot. The only thing I don't like about Reader is that it takes a while to update. Like, you posted this at 12:30, and Eric updated his blog this morning, and I have checked Reader MULTIPLE times since then (I'm not so good at studying), and they both JUST popped up.
yeah that's an issue, although i spend too much time reading blogs when i ought to be doing other things, so maybe the artificial delay isn't terrible for me.
oh yeah, and if you want to read comments, you still have to go back and look at the actual blog. (and sorry about the idiot remark; i only found reader a few weeks ago myself.)
