Talking Revenhead

This is a quick and basic review and recommendation for the Google Reader. I absolutly love this app. While there are several readers out there that you can use I chose Google’s because it is fast and easy and linked with all of the other Google apps that I use. There are some great blogs out there that I enjoy following and the reader makes it easy to put all of your favorite information in the same place.

While Google may be the behemoth out there they just make it easy to access the information. My favorite way to access my reader is on my iphone. Google has an app for the iphone that allows quick access that formats well to the phone.

Readers use RSS (really simple syndication) to bring the information to one place. When looking on your favorite sites to see if they syndicate their content look for a chicklet (typically orange) in your address bar, click on it and you will be given a choice of where to put the RSS feed.

Sharing of your Google Reader is allowed, you can share it with the general public with a link on your website, or share it privately to friends and family. This is a great way to show people what you are interested in and share knowledge or a good laugh. Hope you find this interesting, let me know how you are using your reader.
