MyYahoo Forgets to Feed Me: Lost in Mexico...

Something somewhere had gone dramatically wrong...somehow I'd been feeling left out of the loop all week. I was missing something but what? I hadn't posted in days and my writing felt limp...

Suddenly I woke at 3 a.m. I went straight to my computer. I logged onto the Internet. Then it hit me...

My 'MyYahoo' page wasn't there! Instead I got a generic page...missing were all my favorite blog feeds. No Copyblogger, no Junta42 blog, no 800CEORead, no RemarkableCommunication.

No wonder I felt so uninspired and totally ignorant. How could I let that happen?

As some of you know, we moved back to Ajijic, Mexico two weeks ago. I'm still unpacking boxes. And even though our computers and TVs and phones are all miraculously high-speed and wired-up, some details didn't get finished properly.

I use MyYahoo to feed all my favorite blog content so I can stay current with what's going on in Content Marketing (and tennis, and the rest of the world!) Without it, I kept having to go to each site to find out what's being said.

If you're not using a feed reader such as MyYahoo, Google Reader, Newsgator, or such, then you're not alone. There are estimates that say 85% of Web users don't use RSS feeds. And yet it's simple and easy to set up. I'm lost without it.

I also get email updates of blog content either through Feedburner or Feedblitz, but I like seeing blog updates on MyYahoo page in the morning. What about you? What do you use to stay informed?
