I've begun to use it in the past few weeks and I'm really liking how easy it is to save bookmarks. Since I may be on 4 or 5 computers a day, I need web based services, and using del.icio.us for bookmarks and bloglines for an RSS reader makes that a snap.

Here's a tip that's worked really well for me. Create a few folders in Bloglines called @incoming, @outgoing, and @sleeping. These folders function as small "quarantine" areas. @outgoing is a blog's last chance to catch my attention. @incoming is a holding spot for everything "new" I subscribe to. @sleeping is for those blogs that aren't publishing much, but I really want to know when/if they do kick into gear again. I'm also playing with @watchlists...this is where I store my Technorati searches, ego searches, job listings (Indeed.com), weather reports, etc. I'm also trying to discipline myself to use Bloglines clipping features to hold stuff that I want to look at more in-depth later on.

Things I've done to help organize my online time: Setup my bloglines account Started moving my e-mail to Google Mail. I don't have to worry about deleting anything, their spam filtering seems to be pretty good, and I can filter my mail into their respective labels For files, I setup a new folder for each school year. If I need something from last school year, I copy (not move) it into this year's folder. That way I have a nice record of things I've created or used by each year, and I can archive each folder without worrying about losing anything. I used to do my e-mail this way, with a different folder for each year-month (in the format 2005-10) and put all e-mail received into a folder, but with Gmail I don't have to worry about that anymore.
