I'll be experimenting with some of these tips over the next few weeks.<BR/><BR/> - RalphRalph Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14758413012114957573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32516736.post-53971235767905771282008-04-15T14:53:00.000-04:002008-04-15T14:53:00.000-04:00Anything I can't control is overwhelming.

Crawls aren't a good way to get to me, but I will say that one very valuable piece of real estate is the one line of text that's right above my inbox in GMail. I end up reading a lot of things from Wired and Discovery that are also in my RSS reader, but this extra little bit of recognition pulls them out.Sean Tubbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703508034749435266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32516736.post-87028447446706495242008-04-14T16:41:00.000-04:002008-04-14T16:41:00.000-04:00Sean:I think I wasn't very clear.

My personal problem is with headline crawls on my desktop. <BR/><BR/>I've tried it from time to time, but it justs distracts me.<BR/><BR/> - RalphRalph Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14758413012114957573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32516736.post-53272963581165931982008-04-14T16:30:00.000-04:002008-04-14T16:30:00.000-04:00I think I missed the intent of the post.

My willingness to read material these days is predicated on whether or not the organization has an RSS feed. No RSS feed means I'm less likely to read it.Sean Tubbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703508034749435266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32516736.post-72449926648183371402008-04-14T16:26:00.000-04:002008-04-14T16:26:00.000-04:00I track about 160 feeds in Bloglines, ranging from...I track about 160 feeds in Bloglines, ranging from local news to urban planning, with a lot of entertainment thrown in there as well. <BR/><BR/>It takes a lot to go through these feeds, but go through them I do each and every day. Thankfully, Bloglines does all the organizing work for me and so it's not as daunting a task as you might imagine. And now that I can read bloglines on my iPod Touch, it's not nearly as overwhelming as it used to be.Sean Tubbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703508034749435266noreply@blogger.com
