Stuff that occurs to me

All of my 'how to' posts are tagged here. The most popular posts are about blocking and private accounts on Twitter, also the science communication jobs list. None of the science or medical information I might post to this blog should be taken as medical advice (I'm not medically trained).

Think of this blog as a sort of nursery for my half-baked ideas hence 'stuff that occurs to me'.

What's a good way to 'bookmark' blogs, Google reader? Blog roll?

Asking for a friend :)

I have a blog roll on my blog - it's a pretty random affair where I've clicked on things I want to watch later, several of which have since stopped updating. Generally I'm following people on Twitter who sensibly pimp their posts several times so I rarely miss too much, and don't feel that I'm behind with my blogpost reading.

But my friend is new to the ways of bookmarking blogs and because I've only used blogrolls or Google reader (RSS feeds) I don't really know of other methods and wondered what everyone else recommends?

She's not too keen on just bookmarking them because that doesn't flag "hey there's a new post on THIS blog" to you, so that's no good. So what are you doing to get updates on your favourite blogs?

Thanks :)

  2. Chad says "Please add my new dofollow social bookmarking site in your Great list" - no, that might just be the spammiest thing I've ever seen, and I've seen some spam ;)

Comment policy: I enthusiastically welcome corrections and I entertain polite disagreement ;) Because of the nature of this blog it attracts a LOT - 5 a day at the moment - of spam comments (I write about spam practices,misleading marketing and unevidenced quackery) and so I'm more likely to post a pasted version of your comment, removing any hyperlinks.

Comments written in ALL CAPS LOCK will be deleted and I won't publish any pro-homeopathy comments, that ship has sailed I'm afraid (it's nonsense).
