Google Reader

Last week Google launched a RSS/Atom feed reader called Google Reader. For those of you looking for an alternative to Bloglines or have been searching for an online news reader in general, then you might want to give this one a try. The great thing about online news readers is that you don’t have to worry about trying to synch your feeds between readers or problems with cross-platform compatibility.

For a beta service, Google Reader is a pretty nice tool and includes a search feature that adds a “subscribe” button to the links returned with the search results, which of course are narowed down to only websites that have feeds. Here’s some more feedback on Google Reader from Om Malik, Niall Kennedy and TechCrunch.

Moderation: Because of comment spam issues, all comments are manually approved, so if your comment is approved it may take a while for your comment to appear on this blog post.

Name & Website Required: Due to rampant abuse, we are no longer posting anonymous comments. Please list your real name and provide a link to your website. If you don't have a website, then use a link to your account on Twitter, Flickr or some other form of web presence. With very few exceptions, comments that do not refernce include an actual name or url will not be approved.

Also when we ask for your name we mean your actual name, not Discount Car Products or some other attempt at spam or lame SEO.

Be Civil: Irrelevant, obnoxious or abusive comments will not be approved. Let's keep things civil and on topic. Basically what we are saying, if your comment does not add to the conversation, it will not be approved.

Spam: Spam comments in any form will not be approved. We also do not approve comments that left for the sole purpose of posting a link.

Corrections: If you want to point out a typo or correction, please email us instead. Typo or correction comments will not be approved since they are pretty much useless once they are corrected and then only tend to confuse things.

Gravatars: If you would like a Gravatar to show up with your comment? Just sign-up for an account and any comment with your email address will display your Gravatar.
