Damnit!
My Google Reader is on overload. I installed Brief, in hopes that it would simplify managing my feeds, but it weighed Firefox down, and its stay matched its name. So, I figure, since I'm using TypePad, I'd might as well take advantage of that neat feature where I can follow other TypePad bloggers, and have their activity show up in my dashboard. It would allow me to keep up with even more information while still culling my Google Reader subscriptions, right? Right?
Wrong. It works wonderfully in theory, but the fact of the matter is that most of the TypePad blogs I've looked at, this morning, don't have that neat little TypePad Profile module installed on their blogs. Maybe that's because they're still on the old TypePad. Maybe the old TypePad doesn't offer that module. I really don't know.
But most of these blogs aren't linking to their TypePad profiles, either, and I know that TypePad profiles are available to people still using the old platform. Or no platform, at all, as far as that goes.
I can understand folks with a burning hatred for TypePad (and those people do exist) not using the Profiles service. But if you're using TypePad, anyway, why not link to your profile? It only stands to help you gain readers. I know I'd be more likely to follow your activity in my dashboard than to add it to the morass that I've allowed Google Reader to become.
Surely, I'm not the only one...
