Me: your homework is to sign up for Bloglines
Me: believe me, you won’t look back
Her: i am
Her: signed up
Her: but I like reading text in its context
Her: so to speak
Me: welcome to the 21st century, honey
Me: I suppose you’d prefer if it were carved into stone tablets?
Her: no, I would prefer if bloglines captured the look and feel of the surroundings
Her: rather than made everything generic looking
Me: ok, have it your way
Me but I assure you, you’re not wasting nearly as much time reading blogs as you could
Me: with more efficient tools

  1. Actually I agree fully with the lady. You need a site’s context and unique flavour to appreciate what they are exactly saying. When you are reading someone’s point of view then you need to see their body language (online that means the sites look and feel) to fully appreciate the arguement.

    Plus some sites dont offer the full article in their RSS feed and so u end up having to go to the site anyway.
