(I can’t seem to find the post) Well what he didn’t mention is that there’s an iGoogle gadget for Google Reader that will show the latest unread posts. Just make a new tab for it and set the layout for one column. That way you can keep track of feeds more efficiently without giving up all those gadgets.

I recently switched to Google Reader for my feeds. I had no idea I had this many feeds in iGoogle. (about 30 feeds, 200 items a month) The trends page is really cool. I discovered that one of the political blogs I visit makes an average of 16 posts per day.

Speaking of blogs and feeds, anyone know any good PHP/webdev blogs?

If you’ve ever been to a warez or serials site (or installed Kazaa) then you probably know what badware is. This site, along with Google, has been doing it’s best to detect badware and steer users away from those sites, as well as notify the site owners, who may not be aware of the badware on their site.
