But I think I use a whole different technique....I am on a lot of ping lists for topics that interest me,....I don't worry about following the crowd to see what is the latest and hottest thread....and I use keywords heavily....
Oh and I access latest articles and search by my own bookmarks,...so changes in FreeRepublic usually don't affect that....
So why did I bother with a comment here....
Well...because it might be useful....once things settle down to have a thread ....where people describe what their techniques are in their daily usage of FR....we might learn some new things....
Every once in a while (usually while at work) I’ll sign on from the main index page, which of course is swimming in current topics. Generally there are multiple postings of the same article, and it shows up first in that screen, one would think that, well, anyway, we’ve all posted duplicate topics. :’)
It’s a great spot, once in a while, particularly if I just want to get on and off, because I’ll wind up spending hours. Not that I don’t anyway...
