So when I finally post my new ‘installing ubuntu’ blog, you will know that I am unhappy with how Thunderbird is behaving. This is unfortunate timing for Thunderbird, because lately I have been looking through all the ‘new’ google apps.
I’ve always like Gmail, and to be honest, was a little sad when I switched to TB, because it meant I wasn’t using gmail on the web anymore. Google Reader is the RSS feature of google, and what with all my switching computers and rebooting etc. I thought that it made sense to start using that. It’s all online, and easy to access, which for me is a big plus.
Reader is VERY easy to use, and I like that I can put feeds into folders. For example, I have Luke’s blog feed, and his del.icio.us feed in one folder entitled ‘Luke’. When I view that folder it doesn’t discriminate between any of the feeds, just shows me what the latest published thing was.
I like that everything is online, easy to use, and fits together. I’ll continue to use Google online for my emails and RSS, until I get sick or it, or want a challenge and try to fix whatever the problem is with Thunderbird.
Until then, feel free to ’stalk’ me on twitter: www.twitter.com/Sunshinetalia

And with Ubuntu having multiple desktops and all, it would be very easy to have FF open with google reader in one tab and gmail in the other. And have that sitting on the second desktop, and do all your other work in the first.
I was thinking today, wouldn’t it be funny if Google did something similar to Yahoo!’s pipes, except instead of calling it pipes, they called it strings. G-Strings.
Man I’m lame.
