    what is the advantage of being a follower? (Other than membership of the "Tommy is my guru club"?)

    Peter, do you subscribe to anything, like a newspaper, so that you don't have to go out and buy it every morning? Okay, it is easy enough to bookmark the blog, but if you follow say 50 blogs on a regular basis you may want to use functions like this instead of 50 bookmarks. In this way you make your own "blogroll" in your special reader. So it is a service to readers that want to collect the material that they regularly read.

    There are other possible functions to use like "sharing." We have not built in that possibility on individual posts, but within people's readers I guess they can easily share a certain blogpost with their friends.

    BTW, this is an ETC guru club!

    BTW, you make me feel like the technical geek on this blog, but I am a real novice and slow learner. Just look at Mark Goodacre or Stephen Carlson who are "twittering", "flickring" and "tagging" all the time. I will never reach their level. On the other hand, there is the saying, "In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."

    Dear techno guru,
    Do followers get to read the comments too?

    Peter, in my Google Reader (which I don't use by the way), I have 99 subscribed blogs. I can choose to view a chunk of the recent posts or the whole post, I can click on one of the individual blogs to get a list of all the recent posts on just that blog (like our "archive" in the right sidebar), then I can click on individual posts to be directed to the blog (and read the comments there). I can share, e-mail, "star" items, etc. There are more options than I can overview.

    BTW, I only acquired the free Google Reader in order to compile a bunch of of interesting biblioblogs and add a blogroll function to this blog.

    Well I don't use a Google Reader either. I just have to read things myself.

    No, you don't need one since you have my blogroll.

    Hmmm... I've subscribed to this blog for a while through Google Reader, but I don't show up as a follower... so you may have many more of us out there!
