Google Reader - Two days in

A few days ago I posted regarding Google Reader; I wasn't sure how it differed from a list of Favorites. Today, I'm seeing it; since most of the RSS feeds I've put into my Google Reader are news sites, I am getting a lot of headlines from several different sources that I can screen through very quickly. It seems to be a fast way of having a superficial knowledge of what's going on everywhere - from the current debate on Health Care to Tom Watson's lead at the British Open. Since we are supposed to keep up to date on current events, this is an efficient way of doing that.
