RSS feeds are another thing I've been using for a while, though not always through googlereader: being lazy and technologically inept, I started with the closest (and easiest) thing to hand, which was the windows mail application I have on my laptop. This was fine when I was only accessing the internet from that computer, but when I started working and thus wanting to access my feeds in new (and not-so exciting places, it became completely redundant.
And, again being lazy and inept, I stuck with the google account I already had and used reader. I'll admit I was hardly reading any blogs: our trainee one, and then a couple of writer ones (fantasy writer Neil Gaiman, who is very interesting (and funny) and often has unusual insights into the publishing world, Sarah Salway who is a favourite writer of mine and posts alot of what she calls 'snaps' - microfictions of 50 words or less.)
As well as 23 Things though, I have now increased that list, mainly adding other trainee's blogs, couple of SSL staff members who are doing 23 things and updating regularly, that kind of thing.

One of the things I have learnt this week, to my eternal joy, is how many Neil Gaiman fans there seem to be in the libraries!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I should really have suspected - I went to the American Library Association conference last July and Neil Gaiman was there, and his signing queues were massive! Naturally I waited along with the rest to get my signed copy of The Graveyard Book, with my name inscribed in a hand-drawn headstone :)
