Google Reader

I used to always wonder how can i keep track of a huge list of blogs and read on a regular basis. Well i used to either bookmark them in firefox or stumble upon them. But never got back to reading that. Recently i was introduced to Google Reader.  Am sure it was around for a long time but never had caught my attention. Its one of the best things i have come across lately. You can add RSS feeds of as many websites as you wanna track and read but the best part is they are displayed in your Google Reader homepage similar to your emails as a list. you can read the posts you want to and ignore the rest. You can even Add starts to bookmark certain posts of any blog and make a list of them so that u can come back at a later date to refer once again. You can share certain news with other friends too or mail them to people on different networks, add tags to them to categorize it for later referal.

Google Reader on the desktop

I am a Cellphone freak. I would love to check my emails, facebok etc on my cellphone when ever i get time. Well i had never imagined i would be able to read the blogs so comfortably on my cellphone till now. Google Reader makes it very easy. When u add your RSS FEEDs to the reader. Its accessable to you through the mobile only that too in a Mobile Rendered Layout with no disorientation of the webpage as you may come accross in your blog layouts.
