I have to admit it, I still use some blog exchanges. Yes, I know it’s empty traffic, but since I’ve found a few blogs I really like using Blog Explosion, I can’t discount the fact that someone else won’t do the same. So I surf for credits every few days. Sue me.
The Bloglines Reader Yahoo! Widget makes it easy to keep all your RSS subscriptions up to date right on your desktop. I was looking for something so I could quickly keep track of updates to my feed subscriptions directly from my desktop without needing to open up a web page or seperate program. I had tried the gdRSS Reader plug-in for the Google Desktop Sidebar, but it locked up the side bar at times and I had to enter each RSS feed by hand. Both of those issues turned out to be way to frustrating for me to keep using the plug-in.
