Google Reader is a Must Have
Google Reader is a total time saver for me. I have a gmail account (as everyone should these days) and this also gives me access to my very own reader (among other things. If you aren’t sold on gmail’s capabilities, ping me. I’ll grab my soapbox). This reader allows me to enter the blogs that I like to follow, (my friends, Craft Stylish, Unclutterer…) and keeps them all in one place. When I get a few moments in the day, or when I’m winding down at night, and want to see if new posts have appeared, I go to my reader.
In my gmail (which is ALWAYS open) I click on the ‘Reader’ tab.
Then all my feeds that I’m subscribed to are there. AND – if there happen to be new posts that I haven’t read, they are bolded.
I can easily, and quickly, keep caught up on all my blogs, all in one place. No visiting blogs three or four times that haven’t updated their sites, no wasting time visiting each and every URL, and no temptation to click on sidelinks that I don’t have time.
If you are still not convinced, here is a video about Google Reader.
