Site: reader.google.com
Google reader constantly checks your favorite websites for new content so you don’t have to! No more surfing all over the web in an attempt to keep up to date. This time saving tool is basically a personal inbox for the internet that provides short overviews of the updates to your favorite websites. Once you read the synopsis that google reader generates, you can click on that entry to visit the entire site or simply disregard if it isn’t something catches your interest. To set up your own google reader you will need an email address. 1. Go to reader.google.com and create a google account if you don’t already have one (you can use any email you do not need to have a google email account) 2. Sign in. 3. Click the add a subscription button and enter the feed address of the site you wish to receive updates from. If you don’t know the feed address of a website, just look for the orange RSS logo like the ones that are located to the right of this entry (Entries RSS and Comments RSS). Depending on the site, right click on the logo or link and select copy shortcut. Now you can just paste it when you click add a subscription from your google reader.
I have set up a demo account if you wish to see how this works before you create your own. Please feel free to add a feed or organize the feeds using folders. You can’t mess up anything so don’t worry!
