What have I just done?

[jan_andrea]

I have just created an account with Bloglines, so I can read all my various blogs and whatnot in one place.

Why didn't I do it before?

I just spent 30 minutes gathering blogs and whatnot... and I know it's going to be one of those things where I am hitting refresh like a monkey on crack* instead of getting real work done.

I wonder if I can make an RSS of my new orders so I have that as a reminder?

I should have been uploading pictures for Flickr, which I have not done in far too long, as evidenced by the several hundred pictures waiting to be uploaded. Oh my. Instead, I now have half a crapzillion blogs I can read. Can I make Flickr RSS for me with my friends' photos? That would be cool.

Thanks for the new obsession, brunahildm!


*Phrase courtesy of someone (don't recall who) on the old Salon TableTalk. So apt.

At the bottom of this page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/friends/) is a small link with the RSS feed for your friends page.

I get comments on my photos via RSS feed since Flickr doesn't email them and I don't check in everyday.

Awesome, thanks!

I believe the phrase came from TPW, or at least someone was using it as a tag line for awhile.

Ah, okay. I wish I could remember who it was :lol:

google reader is more reliable, and you can export your bloglines list to it, hehe ;)

[jan-andrea.livejournal.com]

Thanks -- I'll go do that, then :D

Oh, heh. I haven't used bloglines since I got gmail because Google Reader is teh awesomeness.

And yes, you can RSS someone's flickr feed with it, or even just photos that they put in a particular set.

Google reader is better?

Oy :lol:

Off to switch :D

[jan-andrea.livejournal.com]

Okay, that is better.

Thanks!

(And change the "I read..." bloglines link in your LJ :lol:)

You might want to listen to yesterday's Word of Mouth on NHPR if you didn't hear it.

It's about info overload and the high of the digital crack monkey. It certainly hit home with me.
