Okay so more ways to read articles online ... do I have the time? Sometimes yes, sometimes no, sometimes just glancing at the good old newspaper(s) seems to work. I think it's one of those things where you catch an article title online, click on it, read it, and then somehow you're off onto another topic and time has flown by.
I read this article "I'm the Idiot Who Bought an HD-DVD Player" that was linked on pg 2 of Digg this morning. The topic caught my eye because I had very recently been asked if my DVD player was HD or Blu-ray. I bought a new DVD player about a yr ago -- shortly after I purchased a HD TV. After reading this article I think that I'm luckier (for now that is) than the author, Josh Levin, because I have the plain old regular DVD player/recorder which I bought to transfer my videos ("home movies") to DVD.
I looked at the other sites -- Mixx, Newsvine, and Reddit. I didn't like the "look" of Reddit and would not consider this a choice. Mixx I think is on par to Digg. Newsvine looked more like what I consider the "traditional" online news sites such as the New York Times and ABCnews.com.
Share tools -- I read this article on the New York Times online "A Lifetime of Pain, and She Still Will Not Complain" by Paula Kamen. The article was of interest to me because my daughter has suffered from migraines for years. I used the "share" tool on the NYT site and posted this article directly to my facebook acct. This was very easy & seamless to do and offered an area to comment before the actual post went to my facebook site.
