Linkblog
If you read joegratz.net through a feed aggregator, you may not have noticed that I’ve jettisoned my music blog in favor of a link blog in the sidebar over to the right. As of today, I subscribe to 83 feeds in my Google Reader feed aggregator. I’ll use the linkblog to highlight the most interesting posts in those feeds — mostly about technology and information law, but occasionally about music or art or San Francisco. Of course, I don’t always agree with the authors of the posts I highlight; I just think they’re worth reading. If you don’t want to keep checking back for linkblog updates, you can directly subscribe to an Atom feed of my linkblog here, or, if you use Google Reader, you can view my linkblog here.
Curious techies: The linkblog bar on the right is just a CSS-styled version of the Google Reader “My Starred Items” clips box. When I want to add an item to my linkblog, I just star it in Google Reader, and the sidebar and feed are automatically updated. It’s pretty easy to do, since the Google clip box JavaScript generates pleasantly semantic XHTML. This post at the Google Reader blog links to my integration of the clip box into my blog design, along with several others.

This is an interesting and informative idea, Joe!

Do you like Google Reader? I didn’t like it in about the two weeks I used it. Too many components, all trying to render at the same time, constantly. I’m sticking with Bloglines, though it’s sometimes slow and I get the occassional spam.

I do like Google Reader. It’s not stable enough for me to recommend to others conclusively, but it’s pretty nice. It does require a recent browser.
