This is just a place where I talk about stuff, like life, art, and whatever comes to mind.

Starting over with GReader and Feedly

I never really used these two services after signing up because I found them overwhelming.  I see a lot of people looooving them, so it made me wonder why I was having a negative experience, and by George i think i’ve got it.

Too much stuff!  When you start out with these services you’re allowed to import feeds from here there and everywhere, which I thought was a great idea.  I now think it’s not a great idea.  It created a massive wall of text, lines and lines of bold text that screamed “Welcome to the internet, and YOU”RE ALREADY WAY BEHIND!”

I bounced off of that like a…very bouncy thing…  (damn, that could have been a good joke…)

So what I did was unsubscribe and delete everything that comes into these two services.  All of it, and I’ll be adding one feed at a time from this point forward in order to give these two services an honest try.

Thanks for reading.
