… instead of posting on this here blog! We had family in town this weekend for my mom’s 50th birthday, so I’ve been a bit too busy to do anything. Plus, I’ve leaving for school on Friday, so I’ve been busy getting all my stuff (and boy do I have stuff!) together. So here’s a quick run-down of some interesting articles I’ve read on my blogroll this week:
- Book Do’s and Don’ts For the 21st Century via Book Patrol
- The bad bad books that read so well via The Guardian Books Blog
- Penguin wants to suck your blood via Quill & Quire
- Competing for Eyeballs: Reading in the 21st Century via Booksquare
- Book Bloggers: Warm Community or Backstabbing Bitches? via J. Kaye’s Book Blog
Meanwhile, I have decided to experiment with Google Chrome, a newish browser released by Google. And I would never recommend it for bloggers, or even blog lurkers. First, Google Reader keeps freezing – ironic, n’est pas? The only positive part is that when the tab for Reader freezes, the other ones don’t (a big selling point for Chrome in the first place). And then there is no easy way to subscribe to blogs. There is no feed button in the address bar like you find in Firefox (and IE, but I haven’t used it in so long, I can’t be sure). If a blog does happen to have a feed button in their blog itself, Chrome tries to send me to Microsoft Outlook when I click it! Outlook! Seriously, Google? I expect so much more from you.
