I think it might only be for macs, but in the end it's much faster than going to individual web pages. I use NetNewsWire Lite as a news reader.

I also have about twenty saved in my favorites at work that I check at lunch (and during the day!). I would use bloglines or similar, but I like checking peoples comments too, so I figure it's proddly easier to just open them all!

Sinced I've been working I check it every day and only go to someones blog if I either want to read comments or want to comment. It saves so much time and you can do news stuff there too, plus you can log in from anywhere and the screen is bland enough for inconspicuous work browsing. The best advice I ever got though is to just spend some time setting it all up in one go. And then put a 'subscribe' link in your toolbar for new sites you find. Doing it ad-hoc and without any organisation will not work. I cannot rave enough. But I don't want to hog your blog. Bloglines is awesome.

As you can see, it is how I keep track of your blog. I am interested in potentially moving to Tokyo after I finish up here in Berlin, and you and Gaijin Girl are great resources, thanks! Of course, if you are interested in a slice of life in the German capital, you can read mine. :) Tschuss! I also use google reader. As you can see, it is how I keep track of your blog.

But google seems to be leading in everything lately! I don`t know what you look like, so can`t dream about you. Is that normal? I am pretty sure I don`t dream about people if I don`t know what they look like. I always look really skinny in my dreams though...Sorry off tangent there. I liked the sound of the dream. Especially the big red double decker bus. Like the ones in London? Well thats how I imagined it! Jac~ Sometimes I use your blog to see who has updated cos you have the cool little thing next to each one that says *updated* IS that blogrolling? I have been interenetting it up a lot in the last couple of days and my favourite folder has also grown. Shun will not be happy....There is a folder for me but half the time I forget to save them in it! OHHH! I want to sea a big neon sign that says LULU...It was a strip club wasn`t it? Lulu sounds like a strippers name...I curse my parents. While it is only a nickname it still sounds stripperish...It`s up there with CANDY. I will do some more street and kid shots for you!!

I'm usually checking blogs manually anyway. I think it only works (tells you who's updated) for blogs who also use blogrolling. *shrugs* I have no idea. It's a bitch. But I also have a massive favourites folder.. I wanted to comment on your earlier post about day in a life of me photos, but thought you might not get it... so i'm commenting up here: LOVED the photos and you should definitely definitely definitely take more! It's boring for you cos you see it all every day, but for us Australians (especially those who've never been to Japan) it's fascinating!! I especially liked the street shot. More street shots! And kid shots! they're so cute! It's funny how you posted that photo of "Enny" cos when I was in Melbourne last I took a photo of a big neon sign that said "Lulu" (it was the name of a club) and I always meant to post it for you, but I never got around to it.. so I must do that!! :) I use blogrolling, but it’s very flawed… I’m usually checking blogs manually anyway.
