Method 4 - 3 Feeds, Google Reader

On your blog, add links to your 3 feeds and post to your blog about this exercise. (Please include “Method 4″ in the title of your blog post.) What appealed to you about these feeds? Do you see yourself using Google Reader or some other RSS Reader to keep up with certain sites now?

Here are three feeds that I follow. I also use some personal feeds such as Motivational Quotes. What I like about my feeds is that they are short. If I don't have a lot of time (which is all the time!) I can read mostly the headlines and perhaps the first line or two which is usually all that is listed. I included the yoga buzz because I am the certified yoga teacher for my library. I see myself continuing to use Google Reader. I hope to increase my usage. I like the simple view with the white background. With today's overwhelming visual stimulus, it's nice to read a list of news or information presented simply all with the same text size and style. The words are what jump out as important not the text size or color. Also you can easily unsubscribe to something that doesn't interest you over time.
