Gina has got to be one of the most likable power-bloggers out there, too, fwiw. She’s awesome!

Thanks for the time you took just to put together such informative answers. Like many, I’d be on LifeHacker a lot more if I could find the time … I know, it’s about all GTD LoL

For those who have not yet switched to Google Reader .. do it … I was a long-time confirmed Bloglines fan and it took a couple days to learn the new tricks … but now I’d never go back.

I was very interested in your tools and extensions … but I come up dry on a FireFox exstention named: AutoCopy … is that a typo or not a standard FF add-in?

Thanks for a couple very educational posts. The resources for the tools were also interesting. I am not sure I would switch to Google Reader yet, but I did check out your reasons to switch to it.

That’s not something I could do alone, so thank goodness for my team.

This line cracked me up. It’s all I can do to update my site two or three times a day! Gina’s an inspiration. She works hard, and her efforts have paid off. Defintely one of my muses. Thanks for posting this interview.

I am a regular reader of lifehacker. But i sometimes find the number of posts overwhelming. Moreover, if I open my RSS reader in a couple of days you have 30 odd posts and I am tempted to mark them read for now and read them later (which never happens). I am sure people have told you about this problem. I think you should provide seperate RSS feeds for people like me who want your articles but in limited doses.

Great article. Its always interesting to read about people behind the blogs and how they operate. Is there a part 3?
