    Google RSS Reader

    Hi All

    I've recently started using Google RSS Reader.

    You know how tiring it can be going to our sites of interest just to check for new stories. RSS as a technology is not too new, but one can always find new things among 'old' technology :)

    What's the biggest advantage in Google Reader? - that one can use it everywhere there's a computer or terminal with an internet browser, no need to install anything, and no need to synchronize syndication lists.

    What's the biggest disadvantage in Google Reader? - that one can't search inside the feeds. But, I believe with little effort and requests from users, Google may develop and implement such an option (if it isn't already on the make).

    Note: After about 5-10 refreshes in IE the computer slows down and appears as if it is doing much proccessing, and for nothing! In Firefox, on the other hand, it works flawlessly.

    (I know, I haven't given any primer on RSS, but you can find it here, there and everywhere :)

    Enjoy!
