One nice thing about Google Reader is that you can reconnect with bloggers that have long ceased to blog. There is one certain schizophrenic young man I keep up with in Reader. He hasn't written in months and wrote today. Reader showed me or I wouldn't have known since I long ceased visiting his blog. It allowed me to give an "atta boy" and let him know I was still reading. I hope for a post tomorrow because blogging has been so cathartic for me and my mental illness.
I don't know what I'd do without my feed reader...
ReplyDeleteI use Google Reader too and think it's great!!
ReplyDeletePositive reinforcement is such an awesomet hing.

ReplyDeleteYou really are a nice and really thoughtful person.

I am so glad you were able to give him a word of encouragemet, especially so soon after he posted. I am sure it made him feel like someone really does care.
ReplyDeleteI still use bookmarks to find my usual reads and, I do tend to skip around, especially at the end of the alphabet because it takes so long to move the cursor down my bookmarks.
I use Bloglines in the same way to keep up with Blogs. That's how I read yours all the time. :-)
ReplyDeleteReader is great! It's also bad because if you don't read blogs for a day or two, it's overwhelming to see how far behind you are.
ReplyDeleteI second what Cheryl said. I've been offline for days and my google reader is well over 200 posts but I can't imagine keeping track of everyone with out it.
