GOOGLE READER-FEEL IT


Everytime I came across this Google Reader. Even I didn’t know about it earlier. So I thought you should also know about it. Its nothing but an aggregator which is web based. In layman terms we watch TV news and news persons aggregate all the headlines at one place. The same way web aggregator works. The websites owner collects news and aggregates it at one place.
The web syndication is the term where the materials of a website is available to other websites and it just the web feeds .Web feeds in simple terminology is that what you want to subscribe for the latest contents from some other websites. So you apply for it.

Google reader is just the aggregator which can read ATOM or RSS Feeds in any way either online or offline.

Sign in your Google account and enjoy G Reader.
I have explored G Reader and based on the experiences I am writing this here.

Features of G readers
1)      Suppose you saw a post and you have no time to read it you can click on the post in a feed, it has “keep as unread” checkbox which is by default not checked. So check the box.
2)      Navigate to  Settings -> Subscriptions, which is at extreme right , here is a small box to filter subscriptions through tags, name or URL. You can make changes to the subscription via this.
3)      You can share anything on the G Reader with a note. Share with a note button is given at the bottom of the page.
4)      You can drag and drop google feeds accodding to your needs.
5)      There is received and publish dates of every feed when you put your mouse on time and date of the feed.

Hope you enjoyed it.

Cheers!!!
Ethan
