In my one woman quest to get back at Google for lowering my page rank, as well as many others, due to our quest to make money as the bigwigs do in the blogosphere, I have stopped using Google Reader. I never liked it to begin with-numerous times I had to trim down the number of feeds I subscribed to due to the slow loading time. Not any longer people! After an hour or so of searching, downloading and uninstalling, I have found a wonderful feed reader called Great News. The great thing about it- the cost, which is free. Imagine that-something free. The best feature? The feed window reads as a newspaper-in columns instead of a long list of posts to scroll through. Great News also auto-discovers RSS links, because believe it or not some of my favorite blogs still do not feel the need to point me in the right direction. It was simple to import my feeds-all I had to do was export an OPML file from Google Reader and I was off and running. Below is a screenshot of Great News, (and yes I read Dosh Dosh, he gives great advice without acting like a smug idiot like some people around):



If you’re looking for a nice feed reader you can download Great News here: Great News RSS Reader.

Never has it training been this popular. Now everyone in IT wants to go for a microsoft certification like mcsd, and it does not end there. Once done with that, that will want an a+ certification, and then eventually cisco training too. On the other hand ccna certification is comparatively new and not that well known in it circles to be that well loved.
