I heard a lot about Google Reader and was wondering aloud what the heck could it be? Until I thought I must Google it to find out exactly what it is. So, i got down to business and searched for Google Reader.
Yes, I found it was (yet another?) invention of the big G. So, what does this reader do for you? Well, it certainly does not read the morning newspaper for you (or does it?).
This is the best way to keep yourself updated about the latest happenings through blogs of your interest. You can actually go create an account in Google and you are done. Find out blogs of your interest and you can get fresh news from them, everyday.
Now, isn't that great?
I thought it was, until I realised that I was not getting exactly what I wanted. Okay, I intended to start the Google Reader only for the purpose of receiving news and feeds related to SEO, PPC and Internet Marketing. But, I realised that I had been mindlessly following so many other bloggers and there was one who had subscribed to the reader. Unfortunately, I fell a victim to the crap load she was posting.
My concern is: how do I remove the blog from my reader? I have not subscribed to her blog though.
Another thing I wonder is why does the post not go up (like a scrolling text) slowly so that I am saved of the ignominy of pressing the left mouse button continously? Or you know, like the flash screen, display each post for say 5 minutes and then flash up the next one. Cool idea?
Labels however is a cool feature. I am yet to explore that option. Though I do feel that it helps a lot.
Then of course, as Google would always want (to gather as much sh*t it can), you have the reader where you can subscribe to feeds, share your feeds and post notes, just in case the writer's bug got the better of you.
So, here goes another post - just like anybody else would have written, into the cyberspace.
Have a good week ahead.
