RSS reliance

Over the years I have become heavily reliant on an RSS feed reader. I have enough news and blog sources on it that I usually only have to visit a handful of additional websites. The service I use, Bloglines, has been mostly down this weekend, and I find that I feel a little lost. Sure, I could start clicking through my blogroll, but all of that effort somehow seems daunting now. I have been spoiled and have become lazy in my news gathering, to the point that I find actually visiting different websites to be laborious. Shame on me.
