Google Reader

<< Previous Entry | Next Entry>>

Google's latest move: Google Reader, a web-based news aggregator. Free to use with a Gmail account. Differentiates itself from other online aggregators with a custom, fully javascripted user interface that works like a magnifying glass under which you move your list of subscribed feeds (hint: see "lens" in URL). Having played with it for a few minutes after importing my Bloglines OMPL list I can say that this is not an unpleasant way to read newfeeds. Obviously, the interface is very single item centric, so this might not be your cup of tea if you like to see it all on one page ("River of News"/Bloglines style). Thanks to keyboard shortcuts, going from one unread to the next item is rather smooth nonetheless.

This aggregator and many others also in the Feed Reader Directory →
