Why You’ll Love Newsgator Online

Newsgator Online

 

I know, I know, I’m probably the last person on earth to know about Newsgator Online.  It’s not the first time I’m late for something.  In fact, sometimes things fly past me so fast it’s a wonder I don’t fall down.

At any rate, I stumbled onto Newsgator Online recently.  I was searching for a new Feed Reader and Google (the Starbucks of search engines) listed Newsgator first.  So, off I went to check them out.

I registered (free, of course) and then the fun began.  I started rounding up feeds to my favorite blogs and categorizing them.  They offer a list of blogs, and I even added some of the ones they listed to my folders.  Most, however, were my own regular hang-outs.   

I love the way everything is set up and the thought of having all of my favorite blogs, websites, and news, in one place makes the time management part of my brain very happy.  It beats the heck out of scrolling through my Favorites and opening up a gazillion pages. 

This seems, to me, to be the best way to stay on top of everything - especially useful if you’re a blogger.  You can subscribe to any and all of the news feeds that pertain to your subject(s).

I heard recently that most people don’t subscribe to feeds at all.  They just try to keep track of their favorite blogs and visit them when they have the time.  As further tangible proof of my acute bringinguptherearitis, I went for weeks, months,  years before I subscribed to any.  My husband would be at the computer across the room, sorting through his reader (Pluck) with the organized percision of a chess champion.  And here I’d sit sorting through my ridiculously long list of Favorites with the organized percision of bat shyte.

Anyway, if you’d like a little more organization in your day and better management of your time, check out Newsgator Online’s Web-Based RSS Aggregator.

Pluck died a while back.

Pluck, bluck - whatEVER. I try to pay as little attention to your disheveled little drama over there as possible.

And, I save my money for more important things, bucko. Like coffee.

So put that in your Feed Demon and pluck it.

Lovin’ ya,
Joi - your better half
