How excited was I when I heard that there was now a Google Reader Adobe AIR application that would let me browser through my feeds outside a browser? Pretty freaking excited! But then I thought "wait - why do I need this?" This doesn’t really help me solve a problem. With Twhirl, for example, […]

This is a guest post by Perry Reed, Twitterer, and LJ and Spaces blogger.
Call me old-fashioned. While I think all this Web 2.0 (or 2.5 or whatever number you kids are up to now) is great and all, I still prefer email as my primary tool for getting things done. In particular, I use […]

OK. I just added a bunch of new feeds to my RSS reader tagged in the category of "unknowns." And I don’t mean "unknowns" in the "not-internet-famous" way, oh no; I mean unknown to me. I literally just found you. You have a blog? Oh! Well, let me check it out.
I hope I […]

Despite Louis’s attempt to start this weekend’s bitchmeme on the topic of blogs and advertising - damn, Louis, you’re getting good at this! - I’m going to refrain from that discussion (as long as I can resist, that is) and write about something else instead.

I just had to laugh because I’ve had the exact page she referred me to open in my Firefox browser for days. That’s how I remember what I want to blog about.
Clearly, […]

There are several "blog dashboard" type services out there right now. I, personally, have loaded up an iGoogle page with feeds and have a Netvibes (Ginger) account with tab after tab of bloggy goodness. For me, these two work because they let me customize my pages with the feeds and other widgets I want […]

Toluu, the new OPML sharing service that I blogged about on Read Write Web, has just added two new features folks have been asking for: RSS feeds for the activity stream and tighter integration with feed readers.

Over the past few days, I’ve discovered lots of new RSS stuff, thanks to all the links and info flowing by on FriendFeed.
From Louis Gray, I learned of Toluu, which aims to bring back the joy of "Share My OPML," (now defunct). Currently an invite-only beta, when the site launches, you’ll be able to […]

For fans of Google Reader, Lifehacker has introduced a Firefox extension you’re sure to love: Better GReader. The extension rolls up several Greasemonkey scripts that tweak the popular the online app into doing more.

If you have a favorite RSS feed (or two or three!) that you want to stay on top of, a service from Web-Alerts.com can help. Similar to SendMeRSS, Web-Alerts is also a way to be immediately notified when a particular feed is updated, except Web-Alerts offers these updates via text message as opposed to […]
