Reading for the blog

Although I am new at social media, and I am not sure that I really get it, one thing I do feel like I am starting to get the hang of is using an RSS reader to keep up with more of the good stuff on the internet, while avoiding the not so good stuff. I was sad to hear that Google Reader was going to be phased out, but my wise elders told me that I should give Newsblur a try. So I am going to link every once in a while to the blog that newsblur generates whenever I save a story. The first article is a post by Megan Tracy, a grad school colleague of mine, and a recent celebrity on account of her research having been highlighted in congressional testimony. Have a look and see what you think!
