Google Reader from Google Labs
It’s way too late and I should really be asleep. But I’m not. I blame it on Google. I was checking out some links that were referencing my blog in Google Analytics and came across: http://www.google.com/reader/view/
I decided to see what the link was so I threw it in my address bar. I’m glad I did! Google has built a slick little web-based feedreader. I put all my subscriptions in there to all the blogs I check out daily. Google does the rest. It keeps track of which entries I’ve read and which ones that I haven’t. It also allows me to label my feeds. This is more of a categorization system for your feeds. You can also throw a star on entries that you really like.
A web-based feedreader is great for me since I read both at work and at home. Okay, not bad. Not really anything too impressive you say…
But then I clicked “Share”. Too sweet!!! With a little javascript magic, I now have my Top Ten on my sidebar (look to the right). As I indicate posts I’ve read with a ‘Star’, they will show up automatically on my Top Ten! That is just too cool.
I picked up Freakonomics and The Long Tail today but haven’t got started on them. I’ll be on them tomorrow!
G’night everyone!
