The Interwebz ate my comment! I hit submit and then it was just gone ... now I'm going to go have to take a nap to work up the energy to redo all that. :P It was a brilliant comment too all filled with insightful goodness ... it was all about how I use Miro (getmiro.com), Mefeedia (mefeedia.com), and Google Reader ... and cell phones ... and stuff ... :P bah!

I also use MeFeedia (http://www.mefeedia.com) to follow video feeds quite alot - especially to follow 'tags' or some distributed video project / conversation (which may contain content from feeds I wouldn't have otherwise discovered). I'm a big fan of Google Reader for the same reason you like the mail client ... I'm in Gmail ALL the time. I'm never at a computer without Gmail open ... and I'm always at a computer. :P So I keep Gmail open in one tab and Google reader in the next. I even use both on my mobile phone. All that being said .. .I too, like missbhavens, tend to visit sites alot more often then I would actually need to. I like the experience of it, and it is of course the only way to really leave comments/feedback/interact.

Then I was a Google Reader fan for a spell, but I always found myself clicking off the reader to access the site iteself. I like looking at the design; I hated the sterility of the reader. I was digging Flock for awhile, but it did more than I needed it to and crashed constantly. Also, I couldn't access it at work. Big no. Now I've been playing with netvibes. It too awhile to set it all up, but now I have a personalized netvibes thingy (area, site, universe, I don't know what you call it) with tabs for all my RSS feeds organized by subject. There's a Main tab, a news tab, a video tab, a blog tab and nurses tab etc. Me love! Alas. I still can't access it from work. I think I'd just leave stuff hanging around my email and never get back to it. I barely can get back to all my email as it is! But maybe if I gave it a try, I'd be able to get feeds at work!
