FEEDLY

Recently I cam across this article regarding "feedly" and I thought it was very interesting.  Here I share it with you:

#1: Subscribe to Blogs Using Feedly

Blog posts can be a great source of content, but it takes time to visit each blog and check for new posts every day. Subscribe via email and you get far too many emails or they may not arrive at a suitable time for you to read them. This makes an RSS reader a valuable curation tool.
Google Reader has been widely adopted by content curators, but Google is retiring this product on July 1.
An ideal replacement is Feedly, which lets you easily receive, organize, read and share content from your favorite blogs.
With Feedly, the most recent content from each blog you subscribe to is added each time you open it up. Feedly makes sure you see new content and provides a central place to read and share it from.
Features:

• Use Feedly on Desktop and Mobile – You can use Feedly from your desktop and Android, Apple iOS and Kindle mobile devices.
• Integrate Feedly with Buffer – Instead of sharing all of your content at the same time, Buffer will spread publication out across preconfigured times.
• Organize post views to suit your reading style – There are some excellent configuration options that allow you to view posts in the way that best suits you. You can group blog posts into different categories, scan a summary of the posts, view the full posts, save posts to a queue for later viewing or tag articles so you can find them easier in the future.
• Find new feeds – A feed is the content of a blog you subscribe to. In Feedly, you can search for new feeds by category, by entering in the URL of the feed or by searching with keywords.
• Take advantage of Pinterest integration – You can pin images directly to your Pinterest boards from within Feedly.
• Get Curated Featured articles– You can switch this feature on or off. When it’s on, Feedly will automatically highlight popular articles.
  
  Articles can be featured at the top. These show you articles from blogs you have subscribed to that were shared a lot on social media.

Setup
Prior to July 1, you will need an account with Google Reader to use Feedly; if you don’t have a Google Reader account at this stage, wait until July 1 and register with Feedly directly.
For now, when you first install Feedly, it connects to your Google Reader account and imports your current feeds. After July 1, you can use Feedly as a standalone application.
Once you have Feedly installed, you are ready to add feeds from your favorite blogs. To add a new feed, select the ‘Add Content’ option and enter in the feed URL, a title or #topic.
We searched for Jay Baer’s blog Convince and Convert.

Subscribing to a feed to display within Feedly.

When Feedly finds the blog you want, click the ‘+’ button to add it to your Feedly feed.
When you add a feed, you will be asked to do some basic configuration to help identify the feed with a title. A useful tip, shared by Kristi Hines, is to name the feed with the Twitter address of the person/company who provides the content so you don’t have to look up their Twitter address each time you share something.
In addition to naming the feed, you can also categorize it. This lets you organize blogs into custom categories such as personal and business.

Song Lesson- Economics Barter & Trade

The Ancestral Feeling

In a world in which we are all so socially connected we are loosing the most important ingredient in the recipe to have a good client following. We have forgotten that fuzzy warm feeling that we create when we talk to each other or when we shake hands or just know our customer. We are so involve with our blogs, twitter, Facebook and company that we forget that people still prefer to do business with people they know. When you barter you have that human contact. That ancestral feeling of doing the deal right because it will mean that you are doing business with your neighbor. I know it is old school. But it works.

Think Barter First

"THINK BARTER FIRST."  This is what I try to inculcate in all my clients. When they ask me why is it so important, I always answer the same way: "IT MAKES SENSE!!!!"

If you read my blogs or my articles (wiki-how), you will  also see how it makes sense to always THINK BARTER FIRST.
