"Squeeze" the network, filtering the most delicious with Google Reader

And in my intyrnete there is no such!

Many read, many enjoy. The topic is beaten, but from time to time it is necessary to give the reader a motivating kick in the ass. Many of my friends who work at odesk.com in the office did not even hear such words. And it just hurts me to watch their favorite URLs stuff over and over again and wait for the desired FF prompt to pop up.

Google is a stronghold of geeks, and geeks are trying to optimize almost everything they see and use.

I'll tell you how I use it.

I am primarily interested in the topic of productivity, moneymaking, blogging, development, hardware. By creating folders in Google Reader (hereinafter GR), I can immediately read the hood of the best on the topic of interest. I do not need to keep a bunch of links in Favorites (although I don’t store them there, but I use del.icio.us). Once added - and forgot even in case of OS crash.
')
I have a long-standing dream since the time of 14.4 kbaud - when using, no matter which OS (family, body kit as additional applications) always have what you need at hand, that is, in the browser.

I have my personal Internet in GR - without porn, almost without advertising (hello to the homeless!), Without too much traffic, for which in this city you still have to pay, and not a little.

If I once noticed a phrase or a word on a topic of interest, I will instantly find it in the history of my feeds with the help of a search - indeed, GR has an almost unlimited cache! If from the first words I was interested in the article, I mark it with an asterisk and move on. It lies down for me until the weekend or free time - I did not lose it in the flow of information, as if I saved it on a screw (only more reliably - nothing will happen to Google, but the screw will sprinkle at any moment or something interesting will happen to these pieces of iron) .

Why am I not reading most news right away? Yes, because to be in the subject line means to have about hundreds of feeds (one of the creators of the GR has more than 300!). I have 66 of them, and even if every day to read for an hour and thoughtfully - you do not have time to do everything. Hey, don't even try! Don't you love yourself so much? Or do you have so much free time? Let's better go over your personal Internet, where there is almost everything to feed your curious mosk.

Open the GR, click “All Records” - quickly shake, marking and tagging posts of interest. It takes an average of 20-30 minutes. More - if some posts are so interesting that I want to read them without departing from the cash register. When the day is so tired that you only have to spend an hour at the computer at home in the evening - that's the thing.

But on the weekends after cleaning you can relax, taste the beauty of the thought of the cream of Seti and with peace of mind go for a drink, walk, ride a bike. Personally, I do.

DO NOT FORGET TO CLEAN YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS ONCE A MONTH, DROPPING PRACTICALLY USEFUL. By this, you not only clear your virtual workplace, but also force us, beginners and probloggers, to feed you regularly and with the most selective intellectual porridge.
