When logging onto Google reader for the first time, listening to the introductory video and taking the tour, I was very intrigued about this new innovative technology. For anyone who is not familiar with Google reader, think of it as working in the same fashion as your email account. When you receive an email, it gets stored in whats called an "Inbox" and can be read at any time. With respect to Google reader, when the user adds there favourite websites to their profile and when these web pages are updated, such as a new article, the user is prompted by a small summary of this update. There are three ways to add a site on your Google reader account. You can either add it by typing in the URL of the desired website into the appropriate space, by subscribing to a pre-packaged feed bundle, or by searching for a feed using keywords.
After using Google reader as the default method of viewing the web for a couple of days, I began to take a liking for this technology. The Internet for some can be a very confusing environment and Google reader proves to be an excellent way to organize the information that people view on a given day and make it a much more simplified experience for everyone involved.
