Kevin Respecki's Radio Weblog


 Sunday, October 09, 2005
If you need some blogs to put into your new Google Reader (see post below), check out CNET's Blog 100. An effort to list the top 100 blogs out there (list subject to change :) What? No Kevin Respecki's Radio Weblog or Handicapping Harness? This list definitely needs some tweaking :)
Google put out a RSS reader (Beta) last week with little fanfare. If you like Google, and you like RSS, it's a natural fit. Take the tour here. I use RSS to read blogs all week long. I have a daily list and a weekly list of blogs that I run through. Since the RSS reader only shows updated entries, I'm never wasting my time checking out web sites with no new articles. If you don't like the Google Reader, check out one of the many other RSS readers out there. It's definitely the best way to read blogs on-line.
Here's an article on free programs for the PC. I've mentioned most of them before, but streamload.com was new to me. I went to their website and sure enough, you can get 10GB of free on-line storage. The only kink is that you only get 100MB of downloads a month. Still... why look a gift horse in the mouth. It can be a place to store your most valuable files, especially if you don't back up on a regular basis (you DO back up regularly, don't you?).
