Google Reader – Freaking Time Saver!!!
I’ve never thought that an RSS reader would save me so much time. About two years ago when I first tried out Google Reader, I did not like it at all. To sum up my dislike with a quick contrast: The current Google Reader is much more intuitive.
It has been a while since I’ve used it. Only a few days ago I started using Google Reader again due to the Reeder app released in the iPad market. It got me curious because I thought to myself – who would use Google Reader? I remember it being busy*, lacking of user organization, and what tainted my experience the most was it was slow to grab new articles (still not sure if it was me).
I believe that I stopped using all RSS readers was because of overwhelming amount of feeds I had subscribed to. This also meant that I didn’t even bother looking into an RSS reader because I felt it was a waste of time. And before I started using Google Reader again, I would visit each individual site and scroll through mass amounts of missed articles. Didn’t realize it was so time consuming until using Google Reader.
Google Reader is awesome.
*Google Reader is still “busy” to me, but in a good way.
