I have found though that my trusted friends often can provide better, more accurate detail then the new sites. Certainly keep as many feeds as you need, for me 15 seems to be a good number which I can keep up with. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the comment!

I have all these news sites bookmarked, but I haven't looked at any of them on a consistent basis in I don't know how long. Every once in a while I'll glance at the Dispatch online, but usually only read an article or two. I might check out the Free Press online, but the same holds true - plus you can see the miserable Michigander comments, (I feel sorry for those folks) under the articles and they will chase away any reader. - In the Dispatch you have to click on the comments to read them. I have been reading the SWCS articles lately, but only because we have a vested interest in that levy. The one site I have tagged "news" is Google Reader which of course is the "news" I want to read. I heard about the Patrick Kane, (BlackHawks) incident and went to ESPN for the first time in I don't know how long to find out that he supposedly beat up a cabbie, but then really he didn't, but then he did and whatever... I could care less. Back to my Google Reader. I have a few more feeds than you do, okay a lot more feeds than you do, but that's what I want to read, what I want to know. The other stuff will always be there if a friend tells me something I want to know more about. Good post Gregor. Excellent advice, and a great way to engage your friends! I’m with ya!
