Are you drowning in a sea of information that is the internet? Would you like to follow some sites regularly, but it would be just one more thing to do? For either question, a reader may be the answer for you. (I’m referring to web-based aggregators, not e-readers for e-books like Kindle or Nook.) If you don’t have a reader, then I hope by the end of this series, you’ll know some effective ways to follow content on the internet and whether a reader would help and also have some creative ideas to consider.
