Google+ Communities

Thiss seems like an interesting idea

Just saw the Google announcement about communities and it has sparked a few ideas for ways to use them rolling around in my head. Especially for the Child Abuse Survivor site, but also for this site and some other things.

How about you guys, are you excited about the possibilities with this, or feeling like this is a meh announcement? Any plans to create communities or look for communities to join? Share your ideas, or start up a community to discuss using communities. 😉

Linked: How to Use RSS Feeds to Boost Your Productivity

RSS is not gone, quite the opposite. Most people, however, don’t use RSS subscriptions like they did in the old Google Reader days, but RSS is running underneath a whole lot of stuff that we all use every day.

But, I also want to point out that there are a TON of good reasons to use an RSS reader now. Maybe more than there were when Google still had one.

If there’s some topic we want to know about, we’ll follow some accounts and let the algorithm decide for us what we need to see.

Look how well that’s working out.
