The best way to dip your toes into the blogosphere is to start reading blogs on topics that
interest you or are central to your business. Chief Microsoft blogger Robert Scoble recommends
reading at least 50 blogs for several weeks. Oh, and add his Scobleizer to your list of
must-read blogs: http://scobleizer.worldpress.com
But first…
You need an RSS newsreader. Not to worry. This is less techie than it sounds. Yes, you’ll have
to download a little applet. Or sign up for a Web-based newsreader. But it’s easy and quick.
(See short list below of recommended newsreaders.)
You can also read a blog by typing in the URL and going to visit the blog page on the Web.
But why go to all that trouble when your newsreader will grab the newest entry for you? Your
RSS reader displays the title, a brief summary and a link to the full posting. Read at your
convenience. And best of all, NO EMAIL is involved.
