Well Google is getting rid of its RSS Reader, which I use to follow a bunch of architecture blogs. This is unfortunate because its perfect for going through image based blog posts. But also Google Reader is where I saved all the blog post I was interested in so that I could reference them later. So while I haven’t found an adequate replacement for reading, I starting using Pintrest to catalog interesting projects. I love the visual catalog and the community aspect allowing me to find things that don’t flow through my RSS reader.
