Greader

Brian

or Google Reader, as it is officially known as, is a wonderful and useful tool. It is part of the growing amount of free online applications made available from Google. I’ve been using it for the past month and a half now and it has proven to be very useful in helping me stay on top of all the sites I frequent; especially my friend’s blogs and news sites which are regularly updated. It functions very much like an RSS feed reader. I even have the ability to share content that I mark with other people that have a Google account and use Greader. However, a Google account is not necessary to simply view my shared items. A link to my shared items is in the blogroll to the right. In it are things that I found interesting and, well, sometimes disturbing.

If your interested in finding more about Greader, check out Google’s site and find out more for yourself. At best, it can be a great asset to your use of your time while online. My advice would be not to get carried away by adding every site you think of, thus frustrating yourself and effectively creating a dislike for the tool.
