RSS and Google Reader

From my last post about Google Reader being axed forever not much else has changed as they go bye bye on July 1st, so I have added my RSS Feed just to the left so you can add me to whatever reader you might be using once Google Reader bites the dust. I'm still lost on why they want to get rid of it but hey, life goes on and there are other readers we can all use. I'm using NetVibes and I love it. I can add my own feeds and also pick from there many thousands of feeds to add to my reader page. It can't get any easier than what they have to offer. Check them out. NetVibes Reader

Oh btw, you can subscribe to my posts only or the comments only near the bottom of the left sidebar too. That might vanish too from some gossip I've been hearing. More on that later. 

Happy Trails!!

Spammers Beware

I'm easy to get along with and my friends will tell you that. I write from knowledge and my own heart but when people come here to my blog and insult me and insult how I write, well that tends to make me angry. Most of my friends say I never get angry and I tell them they should come here and read some of the filth many people have commented about to me and maybe then they will see I do get angry at times. Just know this spammers and all the others who post your dirty links in your comments in my posts, nothing gets posted here without my ok. If you spam me I report you to my host, who take care of people who have nothing better to do than to post filth. Post your garbage elsewhere please. You are wasting your time and mine by coming here and posting links to your filth. I wouldn't go to those links even if a gun was pointed to my head. There are adult sites for your nasty links and NOT HERE!! Everyone else, Happy Trails!!

Google Reader Being Axed??

Let me get this straight. Google has up and decided to kill the Google Reader service only because it doesn't make any money? Are they serious? I don't make any money by writing on this blog. I mean I could if I wanted to but it would be like someone paying me to write in my diary. I depend on Google Reader and have for a few years to get my messages out to my readers and they want to kill it? I mean out of the blue they decide to axe it and don't bother to let us at least discuss it or have some say in the matter? It's enough to make a person boil over when they depend on a service to make them better and make it easier for the readers to follow a certain blog. Correct me if I'm wrong on this please.

If I recall, the Friend Connect is powered through and works with Google Reader. Will that be axed too? I don't know but I intend to find out. From what I have read so far, Google decided to axe Google Reader to get more people and bloggers to integrate into the Google+ social network. The thing is, I do that already and have done that since it first came out. I use a couple different readers and feeds to get my messages out. I basically don't understand Google wanting to axe something that is very popular on many networks for so many people around the world. When someone finds out why, instead of just a money issue kind of thing as being the sole reason, would you please bonk me in the head and tell me please?

Happy Trails!
