Early Microform Reader - Smithsonian Institution
Throughout history it seems we are constantly searching for new ways to take in information and to keep up with what is important to us as individuals. With the demise of Google Reader, I thought I'd share the two ways I like to follow my favourite blogs and their updates.
| The first is bloglovin'. Simply sign up and add all the blogs that you want to follow and you are ready to go! You can choose to be notified when each of your blogs posts an update, have a daily digest, or not get an email at all and simply log onto the site when you want to have a read. I use the daily message so I don't get overwhelmed with emails, but can still keep up with my regular reading. Bloglovin has a handy app for mobile reading and they've also made it easy for you to import all your Google Reader subscriptions, which you can do here. |  |
| The other site which I enjoying using is hellocotton. This has much more of a community feel and is great for discovering talented bloggers to follow. One of the features I like most about hellocotton is their tracking tool, where you can set keywords and see a stream of posts that have included them. For example, I have 'Cambridge' set as one of mine, so I can see posts that are relevant to me locally (as well as a large amount of articles relating to the Duchess of Cambridge which I just ignore!) Another reason I like hellocotton is being able to see who has followed your blog, so that you can follow their updates too! |
So there's the two ways I like to follow blogs and you can of course follow us on both bloglovin and hellocotton ;-) If you have any other ways you like to get blog updates, or want to recommend blogs for us to follow then do share them in the comments below!
