This is a question I was asked the night before last while having dinner with Horiuchi Chicken Rice.
When he asked me last month, the conversation was disjointed so I didn't answer, and the day before yesterday, as I was leaving he asked me, "By the way, last month..." but we ended up going home on different routes so I didn't answer.
I felt I had to give a proper answer, so I decided to write about it on my blog.
I think the question was something like, "How do you check the blogs of local businesses?"
Gathering information is Usagi and my most important job
In Italy there is a saying that you can get local information at a cafe, and in Japan too, cafes and coffee shops are often hubs of local information.
Although we don't talk much with our customers, we still receive information about the surrounding area.
Also, Usagi and I believe that our job is to disseminate information about new regions on social media, so gathering information is essential.
I think the blogs of local businesses are the ones I read the most in this area.
I mainly use an RSS reader to gather information.
I've been subscribing to and using blogs and news sites since I started working at a welfare facility, but I mainly use an RSS reader to gather information about the local area.
Since Google Reader was discontinued, I've been using a service called Feedly.

It's organized into folders, with the store's blog address registered, so you can check it on your iPhone.
There are many reader apps that can be linked to Feedly, so you can use the one that you find most convenient. By the way, the owner of the shop uses Sylfeed, and his wife uses an app called Byline.
You can also read news articles containing words that interest you, such as coffee or Abeno, all at once by registering the address of your Google News search results.
There are over 100 articles posted per day, so it's difficult to read through them all, but I try to go through them all by looking at the titles and headlines.
Another option would be to separate Twitter and Facebook into lists and view them...
The news apps I use include Gunosy, NewsPicks, Presso, and Jimoneta.
In my previous job, I would use an RSS reader to check updates on welfare organization websites, blogs, and disability-related news, so I think I can gather information efficiently in any job.
I hope this is of some help...
See you soon.
