With the mind boggling amount of information available on the internet, it can be pretty daunting knowing where to start reading. My days used to start out by going through my list of bookmarks one by one only to find that the majority of them hadn't been updated since the last time I checked. This is especially true for blogs.

In order to make my ingestion of information a little less painful and a lot more efficient, I've finally started using Google Reader. With the app you can subscribe to feeds supplied by the websites you normally read. Just about every website offers them nowadays. If you're not sure what I'm talking about just look for the little orange radar looking icon (or blue rectangle with 'RSS' in it) in the address bar of your browser the next time you're reading a blog. Clicking that icon will subscribe you to the feed and from then on you can just login to Google Reader to see which of the feeds that you're subscribed to have been updated. You can even read all the new entries right there.

I'm currently subscribed to over 60 different feeds and counting. Brilliant!
