Follow What Obama and McCain Are Reading on the Internet!
This is the first campaign we've got to follow in this particular age of the Internet; with blogs, every little story becomes a big story, every mountain a molehill, as word-of-mouth has become URL-link-hand-offs. I'm already trying to keep up with CitizenSugar, and now, you can keep up with what the candidates and their campaigns are reading themselves, with Google's new Power Readers feature.
The Power Readers page is like reading shared items in Google Reader, only instead of a shared blog post from your friend, it's from Barack Obama.

Geeks We Love: Mike Fahey of Kotaku
A man after my own heart, Mike Fahey is a game addict. Currently helping to hold down the East Coast office of Kotaku, and ripping through game after game so you don't have to, Mike is a man of many hats. He's been everything from an arcade attendant (totally expected) to a vinyl sign cutter (huh?), but still, his love for games made him who he is today.
Arrange Your Furniture Virtually Before You Move the Couch
Tell me you've been here: you decide one weekend to rearrange your living room, so you gather your boyfriend for muscle power, and begin to move every piece of furniture to the spots you had planned in your head. Only to find they don't fit, or you totally hate the placement. Frustration ensues.

Geeky Girl We Love: Kate of Apartment Therapy
CasaSugar and I share an appreciation for Apartment Therapy, a network of sites that's all about making small spaces more livable, hip and beautiful. In the past few months, I’ve fallen in love with the network’s Home Tech section, which features great tips, tricks and gizmos that will enhance your tech life without costing you a bundle or taking up too much space (we don’t all live in homes that can fit giant home theaters, right!).
Home Tech’s editor, Kate Mulinix, is just as lovable as the site.
Geeky Girl We Love: Peggy of BuzzFeed
As much as I like to think I know what the buzz is on the net everyday, it's virtually impossible to always know what's hot and what's not. That's why I rely on BuzzFeed, a NY-based site that posts 10 "Buzz Detected" topics per day, so you don't get bombarded with content.
With a clean, fresh layout and categories ranging from science and celebrity to food and tech, you're guaranteed to find the most talked about stories on the net at any given moment.
Geek Gear Round Up: Your Computers
Last week I asked you readers to share your computer make and model and let me know what you love or hate about it by bookmarking it on TeamSugar. To my surprise, the results were incredibly varied, but it seems most of you use laptops. From the Dell XPS Notebook, Apple MacBook, HP Compaq nx7300 Notebook PC, to the Dell Latitude D620, geeksugar readers seem to run the gamut of computer brands, models and makes.
