An Awesome Way to Organize Your Blogging Time

I have a ton of blogs I like to read, plus places to visit online. For a long time I was totally overwhelmed by the blog-load and either would end up reading the same blogs all the time (at the top of my list) or not reading any at all, because how do I read one without reading them all? I'm an equal-opportunity reader, after all. Heaven forbid I should hurt someone's feelings by not stopping by their blog when I had to time read so-and-so's blog. I'm sure ya'll know what I mean.

Google Reader didn't work for me. Blog rolls didn't work for me. RSS feeds didn't work for me. 

But RapSheet DOES work for me. It's still not perfect, still has stuff that needs to be fixed, still doesn't have stuff I wish it did, but for me it's awesome.

So here's what I did to organize my online reading time: I downloaded my own rapsheet. You can get your own by going here. Then I made a Monday/Wednesday/Friday sheet for those blogs that update often, a Tuesday/Thursday sheet, a Saturday sheet and a Sunday sheet. I filled up each sheet with the appropriate blogs or sites and voila! Now I can easily get my reading in and everyone's happy! 



So it's Thursday today, and when I logged into my computer this morning, I clicked on my T/TH RapSheet tab and opened the first blog. Because the sheets smoothly move on to the next one, when I have another minute, I can just click on the next blog because it saves my place for me. I don't miss any blogs that way and, well, it's just plain awesome, like I said. 

Check it out and let me know if it works for you too!

Let Me Tell You a Little More About RapSheet ...

What is RapSheet? RapSheet is a dynamic visual interface that brings the web to you--wherever you are.

  • Use RapSheet on your desktop. You don’t need to open your browser, simply scroll through your sites and double click on the one you want to go to. RapSheet will take you right there.
  • Use RapSheet in replace of conventional bookmarks.
  • Use RapSheet on your blog or page. Your friends can go to your favorite sites in a flash.
  • Use RapSheet on a different computer. At your office? At a friends’ house? Not a problem.
  • Use RapSheet in replace of your current blogroll. You don’t have to wait for a boring linear RSS feed to be updated on your favorite blogs. You can update your Sheet anytime and RapSheet will tell you when a blog has changed. You go directly there, bypassing all the steps you previously had to take to find your friends newest blog entries.
  • Share your RapSheet with your friends. Got a great list of sites you want your friends to check out? Simply email them your sheet and they’ll get to enjoy it too!

Looking for Beta Testers for the Most Awesome Collective Networking Tool EVER!



Doesn't that look awesome?

If you had a RapSheet, you could have it sitting on your desktop - no more having to get on your browser and clicking on your favorites and digging for the site you want to visit!

No more waiting for a boring RSS feed to appear in your inbox!

You can share your RapSheets too! Isn't that cool? You email a friend a link to your RapSheet if, say, you've collected a bunch of great sites that you know your friend would like too.

We are currently looking for a handful of people to test our beta RapSheet, to use it lots and give us your honest opinions on how it can be improved - and how awesome it is, we need the positive feedback too! - before we go live to the whole world.

If you want in, just leave me a comment. I may not be able to take all of you, but you'll be the first to get a RapSheet when we go live!
