If you are like me you are subscribed to about 500 blogs and skim them over fully reading about 100 every day. Then you go on vacation and it all goes to hell. It gets to the point where you either have to declare blog bankruptcy and hope you didn’t miss anything important or that if you did someone else writes a recap of the best blogs you missed over Christmas…(I might do that later if someone else doesn’t first… kind of hoping they will)
Anyway, here are some tips to help you keep up with your daily blogs when you’re spending quality time with family and friends and don’t want to seem anti-social.
- First of all buy a smart phone (if you don’t have one and are in the internet world you’re silly – ask for one for Christmas – The new sprint Centro is only $99) and set up your RSS reader on it
- Now that you have this portable reader use it every free chance you get – while Grandma is talking, in between drink orders while at the bar with friends, and don’t forget bathroom breaks… it’s way better than a newspaper.
- If you’re watching the football games Halftime and timeouts are great for checking your feeds… You can even get really into them and shout out loud just be sure to insert your favorite team’s name in there so people think you’re just checking out the scores, or your fantasy football points.
- Finally get your Twitter feed going on your new fancy phone – follow a bunch of the bloggers you read – they clearly don’t have lives and are writing tips how to keep up and posting them on twitter when they finish.
And there you have it. 4 easy ways to keep up over Christmas without making people hate you and think you’re anti social.
Merry Christmas and Happy holidays everyone

Dood…. yer a mad man. When I get to that point, I close my eyes, and mark them all as read.
I am sure we won’t miss too much that wouldn’t get regurgitated a dozen times over the comming weeks :0)
Happy Holidays!… Glad ya liked the Hat.
The hat-ed icon is awesome I’m using it on Twitter as well right now. Lots of people have told me how much they like it. Thanks for making it for me
Hey Dave,
I have to admit when I take a moment to breath and my feed reader gets too full I claim Feed Bankruptcy….. I mark all as read and start fresh. Take a breather, dude…. no harm in that.
I hope you have a wonderful Holiday!!

Is it me or is Google Reader reaaaallllyy slow on the refresh? I have to use GR at work, and I notice that it is really slow updating my site’s feed, whereas at home with a rss client new articles show up really quickly in my feed.
