For a long time I’ve wanted to write about the merits of Google reader, being able to read or listen to the feeds we receive fresh each day.
It is how many people filter their news, in a similar way that they would read there not through the eyes of a newspaper journalist but through the eyes of the trusted friend – the blog that they have read everyday for the last 2-3 years, the blog that they feel they have a relatinship with the writer. It’s more personal than the real newspapers.
When was the last time you cut something out of the newspapaer and stuck in into a scrap book, they way I used to when I was younger, well this is how I use Google reader to keep and share others and my own work. But remember it is only possible with Feeds (possibly the greatest invention since the last greatest invention)
In this age of personalisation we can now use google reader to publish a post we have read and enjoyed to Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Myspace or Email.
(I got this from google reader) – it clearly shows the sharing tools that people most often use. If you don’t use google reader now then do start, cause the next thing you know they’ll be making phones. Duh!
