It’s the silly season so it’s time to have a little fun. Oh, and it’s the season of sharing and love. Thus, I shall share with you all, something… I shall share my RSS subscription list. Isn’t that a kind gift?

Well, I don’t know about you but I love reading things like this. Peoples favourite books, music, RSS subscriptions (of course), restaurants, sock colour (?), etc.

Just to get started. I use Google Reader for all my RSS viewing. To be quite honest, I have never used any other similar tools so wouldn’t know if there are better viewers out there but use Reader simply because it’s a Google product (I love Google of course) and it ties in with all my iGoogle widgets. Now for the fun stuff:

At Ease - This is a Radiohead fan site. Probably the best of its kind on the web - in my opinion. Importantly, with a World Tour on the cards I have to keep up to date with the latest Radiohead news.

Ben Metcalfe - I forget how I found out about Ben Metcalfe. I don’t know much about him or his work either. I think he’s done some work with MySpace so thought he’d be an interesting chap to follow. He hasn’t added much new content of late - probably working hard at MySpace as presumed - so I will be patient with this one.

Branding Strategy Insider - Well, as a marketing major it sort of goes without saying why I am subscribed to this feed. Always interesting stuff on branding to be found here.

Carbon Planet - I love - or should that be <3 - Carbon Planet. Their purpose in society; their website; they blog; their people; they building - all mighty fine! David Sag, Carbon Planet’s CEO is always very interestingly read and covers the pressing issues. Very Australian focused but very relevant, globally.

College Startup - Always full of helpful stories for a budding blogger like myself. It has a nice for-students feel about it too, surprisingly.

EJ - Entrepreneurs-Journey by Yaro Starak is without doubt, one of the best Internet Business blogs/sites on the entire WWW. I must admit, his site has gotten a little commercial of late with stacks of ‘product reviews’ overtaking informative articles but they are starting to get interesting too as my knowledge and interest in the topic expand.

Gearfire - I have no idea what this blog is about from face value. I will keep you posted I guess. It must be on my list for a reason.

Official Google Blog - Australia - I don’t think I have to say much about this one. I think it would be foolish not to keep up with Google’s Australian focused news.

ifoApple Store - This is a news and information blog about Apple’s retail stores. Very much a narrow, underservied niche and I am sure one that could use just the one site - this one. It’s nice to be able to follow the development of cool Apple concept stores across the globe.

Internet Outsider - Another site I don’t know much about. I will have to keep an eye on it and see how it fares.

Naomi Simson - I have been following Naomi for a few years via BRW magazine in which she has featured a few times. Naomi runs Red Balloon Day, a highly successful gift/adventure/experience booking business. She’s very much a motivater and leader. I love this blog - she’s one experienced woman.

Official Google Blog - This is the worldwide Google blog and it’s more active than it’s Australian offspring. I read it for the aforementioned reasons.

Pajago - Well, as if I wouldn’t have my own blog on my RSS list. I do this primary to see how my posts look in Reader. Just to ensure they don’t go funky and all.

ProBlogger & ProBlogger Jobs - Only added these this morning. Can’t really say a lot yet.

Radiohead News - This is an auxiliary to At Ease - just incase one or the other crashes…

Ok, I am going to call this post 1 of 2. This post has turned out longer than I expected.

Stay tuned for part 2 which will be posted tomorrow during the week.
