Google Reader improvements

,

I swear I tried Bloglines, but I didn't like it, although I have to admit that it has features I would love to see in Google Reader, my current aggregator of choice.

So is good to see that engineers in charge of Google's online aggregator are listening the feedback, and that several new features and improvements are on the way to see the light.

HI E,
does this newsfeed work for opera blogs?
I am tired of going thru my friends list to see if anyone posted a new entry in their blog :smile:

Any tips for me?

Well, of course. You must start by selecting an aggregator. Aggregators are the programs used to read aggregated feeds such as RSS (whatever dialect) or Atom. Every blog and most news sources publish links to their content via aggregated feeds, that you can easily retrieve throught you aggregator of choice. You retrieve all entries from the feeds you subscribe without having to visit each and every site directly through your browser.

As for aggregators, I wouldn't force on any specific one. There are desktop-based aggregator applications and web-based. I personally prefer web-based because I can access it from anywhere, but you could also have a desktop-based aggregator to mantain a backup or local copy of feed entries in your computer. As you can imagine from this post, I suggest Google Reader as my (web-based) aggregator of choice.

For more information on aggregators and feeds, please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregator
