Consider subscribing to my blog's RSS feed. It's sticky
Google Reader is an RSS reader that allows you to subscribe to and read RSS feeds (blogs) in one place. There are lots of ways to do this, but I like the way Google Reader has grown. (really nice iPhone interface on the mobile site too.)

- If you want write a blog, you should read blogs
- If you want to be an expert, you should read experts
- If you want to be a better sales person, you should read sales advice
- If you want to educate others, educate yourself

Using the google alerts tool is also a great way to stay abreast of new posts/articles/etc. for your particular industry. I use both google alerts and the google reader, great time savers!

Let me recommend Alertle (http://www.alertle.com), a new-web based RSS feed reader (I’m one of the geeks behind it..).
Its ideal for non-techies. Some key aspects are:
- Unique interface designed to read RSS (not like email)
- Feeds are represented by big, desktop-like icons - easy to find and click.
- When you signup, several top feeds are pre-filled into your account so that it saves you some hassle of finding/adding feeds.
- Can customize it with your favorite feeds.
- Autoplay - slideshow of headlines.
- Can watch photos, videos and listen to some podcasts within Alertle as well.
Interesting way to use the RSS feeds that are popping up everywhere! Interesting post, thanks! I just discovered your blog tonight but I’ll be back!
