Brendan’s Blog

I like to stay informed, and Bloglines is a great way to monitor blogs and websites for updates. Bloglines is a web-based RSS reader. Web sites without RSS feeds can usually be monitored using a custom feed creater such as FeedYes. Mobile versions are available for BlackBerries, iPhones, and generic mobile browsers too.

I really like the fact that if I view an article on my Blackberry I don’t have to view it again on my Desktop PC. Bloglines keeps track what you have read, so you don’t have to read it again (unless you want to.)

You can see a list of what I subscribe to here.
