I have some time while the Survival Kit finishes, so I thought I could write a quick blog post... I was thinking to review the tools I am using in my everyday "Web life" or the ones that I use only occasionally, but find useful. So I guess this is a good day to start. I am intentionally not calling this a series, as it might look silly in a retrospective (e.g. in a year time) to have a "series" with only 2 parts...
The first tool I find pretty useful are the so called "feeds". I like to think that they bring the Web to you, instead of the necessity for you to visit all your favorite sites "personally". Not to mention the fact that I tend to forget the names of the sites (given that there are approx. quadrillion of them). So keeping everything in the feed reader is a good idea. It is there all the time, it is up to date all the time.
My reader of choice is the Google Reader, don't know really why. I think it is as good as the rest and comes with the Google account. So this way I keep everything at one place...
Note: If you are wondering what the RSS feed is, just watch this short video
After I wrote this post, I was starting to think if I dealt with the "feed" topic in this blog... I have found out that nearly a year ago I was writing the Next blog, next feed post dealing with a similar thing, but at that time finding similar blogs to the ones of your interest.
Question to YOU: Do you have any suggestion for some other nice Web tool?
