Mainly my gmail and Google Reader. But I do also have some bookmarks e.g. links to work email account — that I don’t want shared. Can use Elluminate.

@Sue–I could probably use a personal tour of the g-reader management system, as well as your references to igoogle. What do you have coming into your igoogle page for twitter links? how? demo?

@Cathy sorry but I think there lies your problem. Google Reader isn’t busy there are some strategies for using it effective. Perhaps I should do a live online session using it?

@Kate shame on you! LOL My Google Reader is part of my routine. iGoogle is my homepage. All my feeds from Twitter come into it — including the link monitor that captures the links from twitter. It can save you time if you use it wisely.

Sue – I’m using Google Reader and I know what my main problem is It’s that I often go for a few days without even opening it! I email subscribe to my favorite blogs and read so many from twitter that often I’ve already read some of the feeds before I even get to Google Reader! I like to subscribe to a lot of feeds because I use it as a blog search engine for when I’m looking for posts on particular topics.

Sue–I like Bloglines. I tried G-Reader but just did not like the busy interface.

@Cathy not sure if I could call my hubby LMW — will have to think of another term. My first question to both you and Kate regarding your reader is which reader are you using? Maybe there lies the issue.

@Kate
You and I both are in need of some helpful tips for managing our readers! smiles. Thanks so much for being in my network and being a vocal supporter.

Cathy – I hate to admit that my reader is NEVER under 1000+ unread and probably never will be (I subscribe to a LOT of feeds for “someday” reading), but I do love the variety of posts I find on a daily basis from twitter. Your tweetcloud really does show your true use of the tool and I thank you for sharing it with me (us). Oh, and I love that you use b/c so much, I do that too I did my tweetcloud today as well, thanks for the link earlier today!

Cathy,

Took the challenge, unlocked my Twitter updates and came up with this

Thanks for the fun – both here and on Twitter.

@Sue–Doug Johnson always refers to his wife as LWW (which he translates Luckiest Woman in the World) I think it’s cute, and he seems to get away with it. His Twitter avatar, btw, shows a picture of George and Laura Bush, but Doug has photoshopped his head on George’s body. Look at him –he is doug0077 in twitter. Funny.

Yes, sometimes my 300+ gets to be too much. But I manage. I could, however, probably use more tips on reading so many. Tried SO HARD to put a few to bed and unsubscribe.
