Thing 3: RSS

RSS is great for organizing favorite blogs and highlighting the updates. I especially like the STAR feature to help me find my favorite posts. I spent quite a bit of time on THING 3 because all of the searching for sites to add to my reader lead to lots of reading of some very interesting things. The ones that I think I'll enjoy the most are:

• http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/blogs/GetThePoint/default.aspx
• http://lifehacker.com/
• Uncluttering and organizing blogs on http://www.realsimple.com/

I used Google Reader because I already had a Google account for my calendar and I didn't want to create yet another account with a username and password. I added the Google Reader button to my blog and also to my IE toolbar.
