Lately, I have started using Google Reader for my feeds when Outlook 2007 decided it didn't want to read my feeds anymore and I started missing valuable content. I absolutely love the interface of Google Reader, it is very fast a with the HotKeys, it feels like a desktop application. However, the add subscriptions functionality is less than desirable. Inside IE it will freeze up quite often and just sit there bubbling green goo out of the beaker. To get around this issue, I created a IE Search Provider...
Well I got my “Would you like to renew your subscription?” call from MSN Direct for my SPOT watch. I had to say no thank you since I couldn't get my SUNNTO N3 to charge at all to wear the thing. They told me they were having a special promotion where I could get a free Fossil watch if I rejoined for $39.95 a year ($59.95 if you want Outlook and IMs).

Donny put up a list of email he has sent to his Outlook junk mail. Well for some reason my email was on that list, kinda a bummer for a person who sends him articles via email :). Well the...
1. If someone updates a post, don't create a new one, update the old one and make it customizable for the user to be posted if it is updated. This is make the Outlook search much easier and my "Mark All As Read" count go down. 2. If someone updates the blog title, update the title of the folder instead of creating a brand new folder. These two things would make my life much easier as I am using Newsgator. I love the tool, just hate those two things. Got anything else...
