Today I created my Google Reader account and subscribed to some of my favorite book review and news feeds. Now I won't miss the Sunday NYTBR. Now I can see what's cooking at Horn Book, a great resource for children's librarians. Now I don't have to worry that I'll miss "Only A Game," NPR's great sports show for the armchair sports fan. And I can catch up when I choose to. I only have one question: what took me so long? 23 Things Kansas, my hat is off to you. You're adding stars to our information diva crowns.
What did I subscribe to? Oh, way too much, I'm sure, but time will be the judge of that. Here's the list (which immediately loaded 85 posts):
- Horn Book Magazine
- School Library Journal
- National Public Radio
- Only a Game
- Ominivoracious
- The New York Times Book Review
I chose Google Reader over Bloglines and Feed My Inbox for two reasons. Google Reader and Bloglines seems comparable. Being a librarian, I like some semblance of order--I have a gmail account, use Google Talk at work, have this lovely Blogger account--so I have a nice tidy Google package. I find Google Reader very easy to use. Perhaps my next stop should be iGoogle?
