Great post and reminder from Tony Morgan yesterday. If you're reading blogs (and if you are reading this, you are!) you should be using a blog reader. Yes, this may be basic for lots of folks, but let's not assume!
I have a tremendous amount of stuff I need to stay current on every day. Lots of that input comes from the web. Much of that is available on a blog, or as what is called syndicated content. What's that, you ask? Simple.
When you go to a web page, you're PULLING the content to you. How cool would it be if the web page PUSHED new content to you whenever something you are interested in is updated? That's what syndicated content and blogs do when you use a blog reader!
Anytime you see this symbol, there is content that can be pushed to you on that page. It's so much more convenient than visiting dozens of websites every day! You set up the blog reader to go get what you want and deliver it to you neatly! I'm using Bloglines right now, but a switch to Google Reader may be in the works. Give it a try. I guarantee, it's addictive!
