The cartoon pretty much sums it up. After spending a little time with Bloglines it seemed too cumbersome and clunky. After hearing me complain outloud, coworker Sarah suggested Google Reader. It performs the same function as Bloglines and it’s already a part of my Gmail account. (I just hadn’t paid attention before.)
I set up a few RSS feeds on Google Reader. Currently I’m getting updates from the Chicago Cubs and two of my favorite radio programs, MarketPlace and the World Café. A story that popped up in the reader feed alerted me to a new CD out by Buddy Guy, so now I’ve got my request in.
