There have been many times I have noticed that little orange RSS symbol on websites but had no idea what it was. Well today I did myself a favour and signed up for Google Reader. It just amazes me how simple it is to subscribe to things that interest me and have them delivered straight to me with very little work.
Many people have very busy lives and I can see this as a very useful tool, which saves a lot of time. What a nice feeling it is to relax in bed with a laptop, log on to the feeder and read updated information of blogs and sites I have personally subscribed too.
At the moment I have added a forum of a game I play online and a couple of student blogs. I am sure in time this will increase dramatically!

Why Blog?
Do you blog? If so, what do you get out of your blog?
I have never attempted a blog before nor did I have an interest in starting a blog. My thoughts were - Why would anyone want to know what I think? Do I have an opinion that others don't already share? Would anyone even bother to read it? I guess time will tell with answering my own questions.
Do you follow any blogs? Would you recommend any blogs that you follow? If so please list them. What keeps you intrigued enough to read them? How do you keep up with the blogs? Do you use an RSS feeder?
For those that have no idea what an RSS feeder, it is a tool that separates content from the sites form. You can have all the updates come to you rather then having to visit each and every site.
If you use an RSS feeder, how useful do you find it?
Once again feedback is very welcome.

Remember when..
When did you start using the internet? What did you use it for? What are your memories of what the web was like 10 years ago?
Back in 1999, I had no idea about the core concepts of the internet, nor did I care. I used it to research for a few school projects but the main area I partook in was the Yahoo chat rooms. This and instant messengers were really the only form of interaction people had (that I know of). Its just amazing when you look back just 10 years and see how far the web has come.
What do you use the web for now? Did you realize the transition from web 1 to web 2.0? What tools of web 2.0 do you participate in?
I'm very interested to hear your thoughts on the web today or even what you envisage it to be in another 10 years.
