  Social Media

    Kristy to the rescue! I have written a couple times about my annoyance with Google Reader’s new layout, and specifically, how the redesign strips away the Add Subscription button (my primary means for adding new feeds). However, Kristy, one of my amazing readers, has provided the answer… Here is the workaround To the left of the My Subscriptions Dropdown you can see a very small arrow Simply click the arrow and it will expose the Add Subscription button Thanks Kristy!

  According to recent article on Digg.com, e-mail is "out like casette tapes." Email is old -school. At least that's the contention of a string of articles published in the last four months, the most recent appearing today in the Chronicle of Higher Education.
