Google Reader

// March 10th, 2010 // Web

Do you have 25+ website you check on a semi-regular basis, and wish there was an easier way to keep up with whats new, so you don’t have to visit the sites only to be disappointed by finding that there hasn’t been anything updated recently?

If you haven’t heard of Google Reader, then maybe its time you sign into your Gmail and start using reader to follow your favorite websites. Google Reader is a fast and simple RSS & Atom feed reader, and it does a good job of informing you when your favorite sites are updated!

There is no software to download and install; all you do is create or sign into your google account, and start using reader… its that easy. I have been using it regularly since late last year, and I must say… it is a great tool and has helped me to become more efficient online. I can go to Google Reader, and pretty much be done ‘browsing’ the web.

Also I found it to be a nice work around for posting Youtube videos to my lifestream on this site… I have my Youtube account set to allow sharing activity with reader, and I have my lifestream set to check my Google Reader RSS feed. This allows my lifestream to show youtube videos I have rated and watched.

If you are interested in giving it a try, you can do so here.
