I’ve discovered feeds, only three years late. Better than a bookmark and a blogroll rolled into one, with a feed you can read updates to your favorite sites right when they update, without having to visit the site. If you’re already using feeds, subscribe to my site now. Keep abreast of comments. I’ve even got a feed for my flickr photos. Feeds are great. I’ve all but abandoned my blogroll now on account of it. If you’re interested in what sites I’m reading (which is not the same as a recommendation), you can see them here. Not sure what all I’m talking about? Sign up with bloglines and you’ll get the hang of it real quick.
Assalamu’alaikum,
Dear brother, I’ve been following your blog for quite some time now but this is the first time I’ve actually left a comment on it.
Anyway, you might also want to check Google Reader, which in my opinion is a better feed reader than Bloglines. It integrates well with Gmail, and it’s much less cluttered than Bloglines.
Wallahu a’lam…
wa alaykum salam!
Thanks for the tip. I’m checking it out right now…
Ok, I’ve finally got Google Reader integrated with Gmail, and have to say Br. Imran was right. It’s a lot better than bloglines, and doubly so if you use gmail. Google Reader is available here,

to integrate you need Greasemonkey

and Firefox (you are using firefox, right?),
http://mozilla.com/
and then you need the integration script located here:

Thanks again, br. Imran!
Leave your response!

Author and Professor Dr Jamillah Karim spent a year living in Kuala Lumpur. Read this great interview by Sister Brooke, and then visit Dr Jamillah's blog for a series of thoughtful reflections on what living in Malaysia was like for her as an African American Muslim, what insights she gained about the immigrant Muslim experience in America and more.
Granfalloon (n) : "A proud and meaningless association of human beings." A word coined by Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) in his book Cat's Cradle. I was recalling the concept recently for some reason but couldn't bring the term to mind. There it is: A granfalloon. The idea is illustrated in the book by a woman from Indiana who is just thrilled to meet Hoosiers everywhere she goes, a Hoosier being a name for people from the state of Indiana, but the shared qualities she recognizes in Hoosiers exists only in her own mind. Thanks, Kurt.
