Thing 4 -- Google Reader

So many sites!

Now I just need to go add more blogs to my google reader.

questions from Thing 4--
* Did you run into any speed bumps setting up your account?
* How do you feel about this new approach to customizing your news and information?
* It's easy to feel overwhelmed, how do you handle info-overload when you're feeling bogged down?
* Do you think RSS may help with that feeling?

First comment:

Is hard not to feel like a kid in a candy shop. I think I'm finding it hard to focus because at every turn something looks good and I want it. Thanks Kelley for reaffirming that "letting-go" is ok and I like the advice of being "attuned to what I'm using it" approach, I think that might be best way to tackle the information overload.

a little more...

No major speed bumps setting up the Google Reader, I guess it helps to have a gmail account. I think my learning curve hit a small speed bump because the home page to Google Reader was not very clear or easy to figure out. I guess I was expecting more of Google's simplicity on the page and it did not have that--at least for me.

I do like the idea of having one place to turn to for the latest news, but as I commented above, I'm having a hard time trying to focus. My usual response to feeling bogged down with information is to tune it out, go find one of my favorite books and escape. Here's to Google Reader making me a better student!
