Google Never Runs out of Cool IDeas!

7:55 PM Posted In , , Edit This 1 Comment »
Right under APPLE, Google is my favorite! They are always coming up with newer and cooler things and they always work well with Apple too. Recently I decided to add all of my email subscriptions to a Google Reader for 2 Reasons:
1- Tired of waking up to 52 emails in each inbox
2- I can also get them on the iphone! HOORAY
SO maybe you wanna know what a "Reader" is and I hope I can explain that to you. See below I took a picture of my Google Reader and it shows all the updates in real time to any blog I subscribe to and in bold means I haven't read them yet. If i see something of interest or I want to reference i can "star" it by clicking on that star in the margin. Anyway its a one stop shop for all my internet readings. You can get just about anything you want in a reader, be it news, blogs, etc. Totally easy to personalize. Also everyone makes a reader, Yahoo! Google, MSN etc. Choose anyone you want. If you have a Google Reader and we are friends in Google land ( Like Gwynneth, Jessidesign, etc) we can see what each other finds neat if we mark that in our preferences. Now I will instantly know when you guys update your sites rather than pointless clicking just to check.
If you want a your google reader on your Iphone as well they have a beautiful widget to go with your homescreen made just for the iphone . I took a picture of it on my Iphone below.
Just go to http://www.google.com/reader/i/
on your iphone and it will pull right up. Hit the + sign to add an icon to your homescreen.

PS , this is not "new" news.. I am just finally getting on board. Dont know why I was so resistant to begin with!
