Finding Feeds #9

I tried Syndic8 but didn't get really good descriptions of what kind of information a particular feed would give me. So I just picked Salon, at random, because it promised to "make me think".

RSS feeds

Thing # 8. On a personal level, I could quickly become overwhelmed by all of the information being "pushed" in my direction. I barely have time to read the paper publications that are sent to me - here is yet another set of articles - 12 feeds, 10 posts each - yikes! I need this stuff to be downloaded into my brain for me!

I do, however, see real value in letting the technology find and deliver important updates and information that are relevant to someone's job or their interests. I'm more of a TV junkie than a reader. It's funny, though, because when I'm sitting and reading, my mind tends to wander and I'm thinking about all of the chores and projects I need to do, but when I'm sitting in front of the TV, I don't think about that stuff at all!

This photo reminded me of Skipjack, our Chesapeake Bay Retriever who passed away last November. He loved to ride in our powerboat and his ears would flap in the breeze. This completes Thing #5!

Web Thing #17

OK, so I stopped the web challenge at number four weeks ago, but now I jumped right to #17 - the wiki - and completed that. I need to go back and work on the rest of the challenge. The wiki was easy because I've been using one with Trendspotters for about two years now!
