I am a fast browser when I am online. I have been finding that in NetNewsWire, bloglines and blogbridge that I just wasn't following posts. I thought it was because I just wasn't that 2.0 yet and not ready for blogging. However since I have been organizing my feeds in Safari I am reading much more and more confident and ready to take my next steps in blogging. Numbers of new posts come up automatically in my folders and toolbar. I find that I can quickly go in check them out and move on. There are usually summaries and often the whole posts available. I am now reading and following much more of the blogosphere.

In a related matter, I am a news junkie. I often read a lot of newspapers. When I first started subscribing to email lists of newspapers from across the country and around the world, I thought I was in heaven. I spent much time, too much time in my early mornings, skimming and reading. I loved reading about life in London or New Zealand - how their courts worked and what was important in their media. In the past few weeks, I have unsubscribed to these lists and have built the same content into feeds for my Safari. I am very pleased that for whatever reason I am spending less time on the news and more time reading blogs of interest. It is a form of narrow casting that is working for me.
