Set The People Free...

Many of you know that I am an obsessive reader and, if you are a good friend, you have had the questionable benefit of a steady barrage of emails about business, international politics, robots, the towering achievements of Greek and Cypriot sports and a lot more burdening your inbox. Today is your day of liberation. My comments, article links, etc will be posted here instead. It seems like the best of all worlds - I can blather away to my heart's content and you can be here if you want to or not.

If you are particularly inspired, please subscribe and post a comment. Feel free to pass the link on to anyone, but at the end of the day, I think we are talking about a pretty, umm, exclusive audience around here...

If you do even a modest amount of reading online, I recommend you look at http://www.netvibes.com as an excellent way to organize your reading.

Netvibes is an aggregator of RSS feeds. Almost every major publication now publishes RSS feeds and Netvibes gives you a very easy way to organize and read any RSS feed in the world, including the ones they preloaded and feeds that you find on your own.

I now can scan several dozen feeds daily, from major publications to obscure blogs, and it takes me no more than 10% to 20% of the time that it took me before. There are other tools (Google Reader, client applications) that do the same thing but I like Netvibes because it is not client-based (so I can see my news from any browser) and I found it before I found Google Reader, so I got stuck.

The RSS feed for this blog is: http://www.polemitis.com/?feed=rss2 and it can be found at the bottom of this page
