readers and feeders

After having a look at the second part of this activity, I was a bit stumped...

"Now that you have a newsreader (your Google Reader account), you can begin adding other newsfeeds that interest you."

Ok... so this may seem like a silly thing to say but - I wasn't sure exactly what it was that I should be looking for - what interests me? Lots of things... what interests me that I'd like to have some sort of regular newsfeed giving me up-to-the-minute info? Not sure...

My time is limited - I get very little time in the day to just sit, let alone sit at a computer, so having specific newsfeeds should save me lots of time sifting through the HUGE amounts of info that is out there in its various forms. I have a few 'teaching and learning' blogs that I subscribe to (as well as a really neat recipe blog) but to be honest, there's just so much out there on so many different topics that it's difficult to sift through it all and find things that are really worthwhile subscibing to. I also found navagating through some of the search tools either difficult to use or just came back with so much that finding things that were useful was difficult.

Perhaps if I had more time to spend looking through it all I might find more but at present I think I'll just stick to my 'easy option' when it comes to finding interesting blogs etc - see what others recommend as being useful!

There's still something to be said for 'word of mouth'...
