Hey guys, sorry I've been so disengaged lately. Kaboodle is my stress-reliever, but feeling obligated to keep up with all my K-friends was stressing me out! I still like reading blogs and looking at styleboards, especially if they're by some of my favorite Kaboodlers. I was also volunteering a lot for the No on 1 campaign here in Maine, and that ate up a lot of my time. We lost, which is sad. : (

This is (one of the things) I love about the internet: every time I think, "wouldn't it be great if there was a website that did [whatever]" IT ALREADY EXISTS. All your dreams come true on the internet. So anyway, I have a question for the collective intelligence of the internet. I want a website that complies updates from all of the websites I like and regularly visit, so I can view them all together as one feed. Do you guys know about something like that? Thanks bunches,
Emyko

I use Google Reader to keep up with blog posts. Report Spam Posted by stellastylista at 3:09 PM on 11/18/09
I don't buy cookbooks anymore, there are too many good food blogs to steal recipes from and drool over. And there is so much more news now to read it's really incredible, especially in the sciences. Report Spam Posted by lavabunny at 3:24 PM on 11/18/09
Please tell me, what are your favorite sites for news, Lavabunny? I don't really *love* any of the ones I frequent, and I want to love them! Report Spam Posted by emyko at 3:32 PM on 11/18/09
I use Google Reader too, and you can set that up to share what your friends are reading, so you get their suggestions. I love it - I keep up with fashion and interior design, news, recipes, tech news, and lolcats - all in one place. Report Spam Posted by berbur at 4:59 PM on 11/18/09
I've heard about gizapage.com, but i don't know much about it. it's supposed to consolidate all of your networking sites into one page with tabs. Report Spam Posted by anna_panda at 7:15 PM on 11/18/09

A handful of sites I like to go to besides reading the FT which I have a subscription to are: http://news.bbc.co.uk/ http://www.reuters.com/ http://www.reddit.com/ http://www.reddit.com/r/science/ http://www.wired.com/ http://www.newscientist.com/section/science-news http://www.lrb.co.uk/ http://www.mentalfloss.com/ There are some more but if I knew what you were interested in I could direct you better. These are just the first few that come to mind. Hope you find something you like. Report Spam Posted by lavabunny at 4:05 AM on 11/19/09
This is an awesome idea. A site that you would personally tailor to your needs and frequented sites? It sounds like that gizapage would do it. Other than that, I have no suggestions. Report Spam Posted by miss_daphne at 5:41 PM on 11/19/09
I also use Google Reader for anything with a feed. For things that don't have a feed, or whose feeds are confusing to read, I just used tabbed browsing, but a nice, visual way to use tabbed browsing the way you might want to is to use Google Chrome.

ahh yes... That is why I refuse to get a Facebook or Twitter account, and am in the process of deleting my Myspace. Only Kaboodle and Blogger for me, well, also myfamily.com, but thats mostly to share pictures, so I dont count that. gizapage? I'll have to check it out. Maybe it will make my life simpler...
