Google Reader USE IT

In this day and age all of us blog. We keep blogs, we read blogs, we check blogs. But all this blogging can start taking over our time and efforts. Blog Readers work to solve this problem. My biggest beef with most blog readers is their inability to be portable. I want to check my blog reader whenever I have time. Be that at work, at home, at the store, in a coffee shop, etc.

Google Reader to the rescue. The great thing about Google Reader is it being online. This means you can keep tabs on all the blogs you want to watch. It also keeps track whenever you read a blog and marks that off for you. You can also star and share blog postings. I find the starring feature great to go to great postings quickly without having to manually sift thru blog after blog and post after post.

Another really neat feature is the add subscribe link to your bookmark toolbar in your web browser. This means that if you find a blog you want to keep tabs on in Google Reader all you need to do is click that button. It automagically adds it to your list to keep track of. No knowledge of RSS, atom, etc needed. No looking for the blog feed and copying and pasting.

So, check it out, add it to your existing Google account, http://www.google.com/reader
