Time...

I love blogging. I simply adore clicking on my various groups of favourites and watching ten blogs open in tabs, and then browsing through each blog to see what's going on... or not.

It was getting to be a little time-consuming: I had to choose between reading every blog which I considered to be vaguely entertaining (and following up on promising links), and writing up my own blog posts. So, naturally, there were some blogs I checked more than others...

...And then I was encouraged to use Bloglines. Bloglines checks all your favourite blogs for you, and lets you know when they've been updated. You can read the updates without even visiting the blog. There's even a little blue doobrey-whatsit alert thingy which sits at the bottom of the browser: it develops an attack of measles when something new is up (well, ok, I shall stop exaggerating... it gets a red spot!)

It certainly saves time. But now I find myself looking at the blue alert, and I realise that there's no point clicking on the blogs, because there's nobody home... *sniff* My clicking finger is getting withdrawal symptoms...

...Oh well, I shall just have to go and play on Facebook !
