Google Reader


Why not be able to view all your top information all over the net in one easy to deal with spot? Have Google reader updated with the websites that interest you and save time by not having to do the work yourself.  Google Reader pulls in info from the site’s RSS feeds, much like how people read JAMM when they don’t directly visit the site.  It is also just one click away from your Gmail account and is available offline using Google Gears. Also available on mobile web by pointing your browser to http://m.google.com/reader.  Reader has a simple interface that even a beginner can figure out but has all the features that an advanced user needs. Share your feeds with friends, make notes, and view statistics of your feeds.   The most interesting thing that I found while using reader is that it gives you recommended feeds.  These feeds seem to be pulled from my statistical data throughout all of the Google products that I use.  Helpful or scary???  Check it out here and let us know what you think, or if you already use it what’s the best feature to you?

I love Google Reader even though I don’t use it nearly as much as I used to. I tend to get most of my news from Twitter, but Google Reader is where I go if I need to get a summary of what has been going on in the past day or two.

Also, if you use a Webkit browser or even Opera, you can use http://www.google.com/reader/i to get the iPhone formatted version of Google Reader. It makes a huge difference when using a mobile browser.

Big Google Reader fan. Two significant features for me:

a) The mobile version filters each page to make it more mobile friendly – so if you end up on a web page by clicking through on a RSS post, it’s stripped-down & fast to load

b) The real beauty to me of using the mobile version is no matter whether I’m reading feeds on the mobile or on a PC, it’s all kept in sync.

I also like that tere are some decent apps out there for most platforms that will let you read offine if needed. They don’t have the same features as the mobile site, but some are pretty close. Either way it is cloud news at its best.
