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:
- Brainsparks by Jared Spool
- peterme by Peter Merholz
- Web Strategy by Jeremiah Owyang
Maybe I’ll just post that and call it a night.
