Google reader… eh?

Ever heard of Google Reader?

If not, you’re missing yet another one of Google’s beta releases as an online RSS aggregator. Anyone familiar with using gMail will be at great ease in using it as it carries some of the same functions – starred entries, all the usual search facilities etc.

Not only that, but they’ve lobbed in keyboard shortcuts, active on the website – pretty quirky function.

The real benefit for managing your feeds is that you can import them (and export them) from any OPML file (i mentioned OPML in this previous post). Adding a feed it a breeze, click ‘Add Feed’, enter the URL, preview and subscribe – nice and tidy.

If you’re away from your copy of Firefox or your desktop, its yet another handy tool to have on the road making sure you don’t miss any posts!
