I've had access to Google Reader now for over a week, and I'm having trouble making it a habit. I can't get as excited about Google Reader as I am about Diigo. I think my problem is that it's not an automatic "go-to" yet. It is obvious to me what the benefits are. I can see, at little more than a glance, new posts that are specifically chosen by me to fit my needs. However, I'm having trouble transitioning from my old "hard" source habits. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed at this point. Remember, I will always be a learner in the world of technology. Many of you are natives - you don't recall a time when there were no computers, cell phones, etc. ("Oh, waaa, waaa," I say to myself.)
I envision myself involved with a massive learning curve. It is exciting, and I find myself getting lost and losing hours in blissful cyberspace. The problem is that there are so many new things, when I miss a day and come back to that blissful place, it seems foreign again. I feel I'm sliding down the back side of that learning curve at incredible speed headed for Lord knows what!! I need more practice time!!
Back to Google Reader - are you using it constantly? Does it take the place of other internet habits for you?
