Gasp! This explains a lot. Every day you are missing from the Jannaverse is a day when I curl up into a little ball and eat chocolate ice cream until my heart stops hurting. So, actually, everything works out in the end. I especially like Haagen Dasz. .-= Janna´s last blog ..Various Thoughts =-.

Sybil – since you’re one of those who only post once a week or so, I don’t seem so untimely in my comments!

martymankins – you’re very welcome. re: readers, I haven’t tried Google Reader, but that’s mainly because I know of know desktop/laptop program, and I don’t just want web-based feed-reading. Within the groups I have set up, my blogs are also alphabetical, which is why Avitable, Banal Leakage, Blogography get a lot of attention

Ren – great idea on the “give me a short posts mode”. Really, if it were more intelligent of a tool, I’d be able to make filters like “show me one blog post from each of [x] blogs, but only ones without video and/or audio”.

And I’d want it to be able to read me the posts so I could listen to them while I drive or do other work. then I’d want to compose my audio comment, but have it transcribed into a text comment, then shown to me for approval, and then publish it.

We should write software.

Oh wait, you do.

Hilly – I’ve not thought about “sharing” – I did notice that newsgator/feeddemon has the web clippings, and that you can tag posts that are then shared out to others via an RSS feed, but I’ve never used it. Maybe I could have a widget on my blog that lists the blog posts that I really liked, giving them some attention. I really haven’t explored it beyond what I just typed.

And the panic button is just a big bag of guilt hanging there on my computer screen.

Dave2 – I didn’t explain myself well – I still read all the blog entries, even if it’s just to skim them. But what I’m wanting is a special view so I can go into “one post per blog” mode for a few minutes to make the rounds… then later in the week when I have time, I can catch up on the unread ones.

I never miss an exciting episode of Happy Daves.

Avi – I already do different folders based on “priority” – I have a Round 0, 1, 2, 3 etc for th epeople I want to make sure I read daily vs daily-if-I-can vs weekly, etc. But you’re right – if I just slept less, I could read more blogs.

Obama wants you to feel guilty!
Ha
I don’t feel guilty. It’s a waste of my time.
That said, I’ll cry if you don’t visit ME!
