I had difficulty setting up RSS feeds. I would type in a URL that I knew had RSS feeds and Bloglines would tell me that the website did not subscribe to RSS feeds. I was more successful when I had Blogline open and then went to the website and clicked on the RSS feed link. I could then see the feed in my Bloglines account.
This does not make information gathering more useful for me as I do not follow any blogs. I would use Blogline for more financial and business information but not for social connecting reasons! I will continue to use my favorites on my computer for any interesting websites. Also too much information comes through on Bloglines! Bloglines did not always respond the way I thought it would.

Google Universe is overwhelming - as are most of these social networking sites. How do people have the time to be so involved or are they just using specific products or services?
I found the "Trends" and the "News" service interesting in that you have very current information. "Trends" let you see what other people are interested in and the "News" is up to date by the minute. I would recommend these to others.
I tried "Google Scholar" and found some of the same searches as when I did a "Google" search. Not sure if I would count on "Google Scholar" to be very scholarly.

Facebook CPL 2.0
Networking with other people to share and connect to things that are important is the appeal of websites like Facebook. Individuals have the capacity to share much more broadly than they have ever had before.
Facebook and similar websites could involve into a serious platform that change peoples lives and the way we live. Discussions or political ideas as well as "target" marketing could be in the future.
Unfortunately, I find Facebook involves a large amount of personal time!

CPL 2.0 Wikipedia
Wikipedia was far too busy a web site for me but it is often one of the top websites that appear when you do a Google search. I would use Wikipedia only when I need a quick overview of a topic and would not rely on its content to be 100 % accurate! But sometimes Wikipedia is far too lengthy for me to qet a quick overview!
The Simple English function on Wikipedia provides information in simple language and grammer suitable for children and adult who are learning English. This function may be useful for the some customers!
I did edit a comma on one article and it was difficult to find something to edit.
