I had been looking for a solution to my news reading habit. I have a lot of blogs that I read. Historically, I’d go to each blog and check out the new stories. What I really wanted was a way to use the RSS feeds to check all my blogs at once. I tried a few sites, but settled on google reader. Unlike most other solutions, Google Reader does not require an software to be installed on my desktop, allowing to me to check my feeds anywhere. Google Reader can sense when I’ve read a story and only show me ones I haven’t seen before. In addition, with the click of a single button, I can check a few dozen blogs and know where the news is. The search function is disappointing, but I think my expectations were too high. It would be awesome to do a search of only the blogs I read because now I’ll read a story, and forget exactly where it came from.
Let me know your thoughts on Google Reader. You can find it here. It is extremely easy to set and start using, so give it a try.
