Google Reader Recommends …

Saturday, December 1, 2007

Today is the first day in months I haven’t looked at Google Reader. I weaved in and out of some academic data mining as I played Driveway Hockey, enjoyed some family time, and watched an “old” movie. It is a little strange to spend so much time away from the information stream, outside of Twitter, and I type now wondering if a long run of daily posts is about to end.

Today is the first day in months I haven’t looked at Google Reader. I weaved in and out of some academic data mining as I played Driveway Hockey, enjoyed some family time, and watched an “old” movie. It is a little strange to spend so much time away from the information stream, outside of Twitter, and I type now wondering if a long run of daily posts is about to end.

Google added a recommender engine this week, making it easy to find new blogs based on the stuff you already read. I’ve dabbled conservatively in the new feature, but I think it is a great idea. Three recs I did add to my feed were:

    Dude, congrats on making it this far, it’s pretty impressive! I thought about joining up on the daily Nov blog posting thing and kinda regret not making the effort to blow the dust off of my site, although it was also the first month at a new startup and I’m exhausted just from that. Excuses excuses!
