Google Reader 2 Year Birthday
Yesterday Google Reader turned 2 years old. Also, 3 weeks ago it emerged from Beta. I finally took some time today to look over this application and took an immediate liking to it. I’m a chronic RSSer. I add new ones all the times and I constantly check them due to using a desktop feed and email aggregator. So I decided to take this opportunity to switch over to Google Reader (which in itself took about 30 minutes of copying feeds over (there is import functionality but in my haste I did not notice it until later).
I would recommend Reader to anyone who just needs to get their fill of their feeds. Especially if you waste time checking too frequently. It helps to have an extra step between you and that aggregator (before it was only the email button on my keyboard).
Reader also helps for those that live with a high mobility factor. You can always check your feeds and add to them anywhere. It saves time and especially if you already have a Gmail account keeps everything in one highly mobile location. You can also access Reader from your mobile phone. There goes that phone bill…
