After finally checking out PageFlakes and comparing to NetVibes, I just prefer NetVibes. It seems that there are more widgets to add to a page, and they seem more flexible. Adding my custom hosted GMail account was easier on NV than PF for example.
I am and have become very fond of the service in a very short time.
Easton Ellsworth has discovered and converted to Google Reader as his main feed reader and has followed a post from Web Worker Daily and asks How do you read RSS feeds? So, ok I’ve got my own method or pattern for reading my feeds in Google Reader – which is the only feed reader as far as I’m concerned.
So, here it goes:
Overall, I really have become enamored of the river of news view that Dave Winer pioneered (thanks Dave!). Thanks for the question Easton!
As to why I read feeds, it simply is multitudes faster than individual sites. It’s also much more up to date than traditional media, which has caused me to cancel or let expire all my magazine subscriptions. They just can’t compare to the information shared by bloggers, or published to the news feeds.

Well I’ve finally found the article that I was interviewed for by the Wall Street Journal – though I found it at The Baltimore Sun instead. The article by Jessica E. Vascellaro details the current crop of available online storage options from Box.net to XDrive.
WSJ interviewed me for my experiences using XDrive, though I also use Box.net as well. There are differences between them in usability and performance, but the simple ability to get at your most critically important files from anywhere is very powerful.

There’s NO valid argument against the SAVE America Act.
My bill would make it easy to vote.
And hard to cheat.
As soon as DHS is fully funded (as it should be within 48 hours), the Senate should resume consideration of it—and stay on the bill until it passes.
Pass it on.
How are Democrats cheating in L.A.?
Let me show you…
There are 26 registered voters at this toilet in Los Angeles.
I’m not kidding. I have the voter records. See for yourself. The only thing here is a stinky port-a john inside an empty parking lot.
No homes. No mailboxes.
As governor, the State Capitol will stand for unity and common sense.
In addition to the POW/MIA flag that has long flown over the State Capitol, we will fly two flags when I am governor: the Wisconsin state flag and the American flag.
That’s it. No politics.
