Back in the aggregated world.
It has been a month--four weeks to the day, to be precise--since I last aggregated news. I turned in my laptop at my old job, burned a copy of my NewsGatorSubs.opml file to a CD, and left Washington DC for Chicago.
The first few weeks, I did not miss it; I was too busy adjusting to a new job and a new city to mind. (Blogging slacked off as well.) Earlier this week, though, I started to get the itch, wondering what was going on in the world. I slipped the appropriate CD in my bag at work and downloaded NewsGator again when I got home last night. I've missed a lot, I know, but now I am finally reconnected to the world. I recreated my custom views on the folders, scanned the headlines I'd missed (my first scan picked up over 3000 items!), read a few, flagged a few for the Search folders in Outlook, and was on my way.
And, to be sure this doesn't happen again, I've decided to give NewsGator Online Services a try. I'll be sure to post a review soon.
