I keep categories like, friends' blogs, gluten free blogs, climate blogs, teaching blogs, comics, and news. Some I read daily, some I read over Sunday coffee, some I don't read at all, but it is nice to see it all there so I know I'm not missing out.
Here's what the expanded view looks like, but you can also do a home view, then just click on what interests you for further reading. You can see on the left, I have my categories, a few of the blogs in them, and the bold with the number in parenthesis are articles I haven't read. Some of those climate blogs put out 30 a day due to having a gazillion authors, so I can't keep up.
I'm curious how this will connect to Google+ in the future. This whole new social network thing makes me a bit nervous because I'd hate for my students to find my blog and I'm afraid I'm going to screw something up once it's all connected, they'll be able to just type in my name, and it will pop up. I hope I can still be active without worrying about this.
My question for you is, have any of you ever been able to get journal
articles feeding to your reader? I heard a sound bit about Web of
Knowledge (Web of Science) having a reader. Have any of you used this
or connected it to your Google Reader? I'd love to have a feed of at
least abstracts from my favorite journals.

I've been using Google Reader for quite some time now and love it. Sadly, it's generally thought that RSS is on the way out as it's not as fast as the social networks at getting you new and breaking news. But I still love it!
The best thing about Reader is that it's not only a product, it's a service. That means that there are many other applications out there that can be used to access your Reader feeds. If you use Mac, my favorite is called Reeder. It's a great product on Mac, iPad or iPhone. There are other products for Windows, I just haven't used them lately.
Thanks Joe! I'll have to check out Reeder for my ipod touch!
