Blogline vs. Google Reader

This week's task (ok, I'm a little behind...it's the task from 3 weeks ago) is to open a bloglines account and add some feeds to follow. I already had a Google reader account, but I figured I would go ahead and try out bloglines...and I hate it. Google's reader was so much easier to understand and set up. It may just be because I started out on it, but bloglines actually gave me a headache as I tried to figure it out!

However, I love RSS. It has made my life so much easier. There are many blogs that I love to follow. It was such a pain to have to go to everyone and then wade through the ads. But once I set up a feeder it was great, they all came to me. And then google reader suggested blogs I might like based on the ones I was already following...and it was right, I do like those blogs. So now I have added even more blogs to follow. I think I may have an addiction!

It's amazing that topics you can find feeds for. I personally have added many decorating blogs. This is a great tool to use in my personal life. I get new ideas everyday for decorating my home, I love it.

My new dvr

The next thing on my to-do list is to talk about anything technology related that interests me. My favorite gadget of the moment is my new dvr. When we first talked about getting it I thought that I would never use it. But now I love it and use it more than my husband who wanted it in the first place.

I find it fascinating that a technology that I was reluctant to get, is now one of my favorite features of my TV. I also think that it would be wonderful if this technology could be replicated on car radios. How many times have I been listening and thought what did they just say? Like when I hear the traffic report but miss the very important part about the accident blocking my way home. Because I am so used to just rewinding the TV when I miss something I actually start to rewind my radio and realize I can't:(
