Cyber Stalking

Okay, you know you have done it. You know it is your dirty little secret and you love it... Cyber stalking. You know, googling someones name, looking them up on facebook or myspace... It totally feels wrong in a way but so devious and sleuth-like at the same time. I know myself I love to check out everyone's blogs to see if there are any new posts but every time I do that I add one more viewer to the ticker, I am sure there have been days when I have viewed someone's blog 10 times! Well, my friend Amber told me about a great application that iGoogle has, Google Reader. You sign in with the same blog account name and add different "subscriptions" or blog addresses. As new material is added or if something changes on the page, it alerts you. You are able to read it on the reader page if you wish or you can click and be sent to the actual blog. I do not think you can add comments on the reader, but I could be wrong, you still have to go to the blog to do that. But it lists all the blogs you want to stay current on and it is so super easy to see who has new stuff to read. Thanks for the great tip Amber! Now I don't feel quite so stalker-ish...

I have been meaning to ask you if you figured it out. I think I check it more than my e-mail. This blog stuff is so much fun. Have a great day at work.
