Google Reader Has Changed My (Online) Life
I really fail to understand how long it took me to start using Google Reader, but it is frankly changing how I consume content/information online. In the week or so I have used it, the amount of articles I have digested has taken off exponentially. I previously had a hard time regularly checking my favorite blogs as the process was cumbersome and plagued with too many steps. As usual, Google nailed the process and made something which previously was a pain into something I thoroughly enjoy.
I have noticed that I already have been commenting on my favorite blogs more frequently (which still is not enough) as well as getting ideas for new content on this blog. It is truly amazing what a good tool can do to impact your daily life.

I also use the google ‘next’ bookmark and add it to my firefox bookmarks toolbar. I simply keep clicking next to read all the new posts since the last time I read.
Yeah, the tools are such an astounding improvement from what I have been using in the past. I am blown away.
I realy like netvibes a lot. the way you customize the columns and you see all your rss on tabs, it’s realy neat. I just kinda grew tired of the google styles…
Google reader become stronger than the past month but NewsGator is a gooder alternative, newsgastor sync with Netnewswire. (http://www.newsgator.com)
I find it to be a godsend and a curse – though there is much more information at my fingertips, I find that if I don’t limit my time reading all the interesting posts that Google reader sends me, I lose most of my day.
But, it is definitely one of those “must have” tools for webmasters.
