Shipmates,
Recently Brad asked me how I keep up with Coast Guard and Auxiliary news and blogs. A key tool to fighting this information overload is a feed reader (also known as a feed aggregator).
I use the Google service Google Reader but there are many alternatives.
In this "Quick Tips" video I show how I use Google Reader and identify some key sites to follow. See the list at the end of the post for these key sites.
Note: These quick tips videos are intended to quickly answer questions and provide tutorials. They are not scripted nor heavily edited. Please excuse any errors and the informal speech. If you have a question about this video please add a comment and an answer or new video will be provided. On these demo videos it helps to go to the YouTube site select the high resolution option and go full screen: HD LINK
