I have been going back and forth with myself for a while now about starting a blog. Do I want to step away from the safety and comfort of writing in the discussions tab of my Facebook fan page? Will I stick with it? Will anyone read what I have to say? And my biggest fear: Will I run out of things to say?

Well, according to file 14 of @stickyJesus, “The fear of coming up empty is a common one”.

Who knew there even were such things as RSS buttons, feeders, readers, and aggregators?! Probably everyone except me, but I feel as if I have a whole workshop full of tools now! I feel very confident that I can start a blog now and keep it interesting, entertaining, and consistent. RSS technology is also very appealing to me because I am…well…easily distracted. What was that? Oh, yes. The Land of Shiny Things. It gets me every time. I am encouraged that I will be able to sit down out my computer and do what I came to do without getting sucked into wasting ridiculous amounts of time checking out this season’s most amazing shoes, who’s cheating who, and Lady Gaga’s latest…ahem…”outfit”.

This is a new journey for me. Thanks to all of the good information in this file, I have a plan laid out in my head how I am going to begin my content gathering and use that content. However, I am very curious to know:

1. Am I the only one of us that didn’t know about RSS technology?
2. What RSS reader do you use?
3. What type of content do you gather and are you interested in?
4. How has this technology been useful to you in your content gathering?
