Blog Reading

Reading blogs takes much less time using Google Reader. Why? The way things are organized/viewed is faster and I have learned the magic keystrokes (Shift-n, Shift-p, Shift-o to switch activate a feed and my old friends j and k for moving up and down inside a feed).

One other thing that has been interesting is the Trends chart:


Based on the trends, I was able to see that the Drudge Report was the most frequent poster (many repeats). After a little thought, Drudge got the axe. I can go to the web page a few times a day faster than looking at the headlines inside Reader. Next on the list is probably Hot Links.
