I prefer how Bloglines handles the blogs themselves (I really can read through my whole blog list like I’m reading a newspaper), but for extras, like sharing, although both allow it, Google makes it easier. I also appreciate having the ability to create trash e-mails in Bloglines, a great way to sign up for new sites without having to worry about more spam in your inbox.

As part of my New Year’s resolution to get more organized, I decided to pare down the RSS feeds that I subscribe to and create a “newspaper” that fits my daily needs.

Mahalo is a social networking site that I haven’t really messed with outside of signing up for it. I’ve heard some good things about it, and I know that a few people on Twitter use it, but that’s about all I know.

Lesson Learned

10 January, 2008 (09:34) | StumbleUpon

I learned a hard lesson yesterday.
Don’t have a ticklefest with a little one when you’re finishing up a blog post, especially one that’s taken a couple days to write. EVEN if you have saved it. J somehow managed to kick my mouse, deleting both the post AND the saved copy in one swell foop.
