About a week ago Google announced major changes to Google Reader. Obviously you can read the post for more details but here's what I liked...
- Send To Function - while reading your feeds you can immediately send the article to Facebook, Twitter and a host of other sites. Oddly enough I couldn't get Twitter to work using Google's browser Chrome; I think it has something to do with the pop up blocker, but sadly I gave up. I couldnt even find the ability to white list Twitter.
- Clear Out Unread Feeds Automatically - Instead of going into your reader and seeing 1000s of unread news and then clearing them out one by one, you can have Reader clear them out every day, week, or every two weeks.
More reasons to love Google. This is the revenge of Google Reader and probably will help boost blog readership and more importantly blog authorship. Believe it or not, I think this is a shot right up against Micro Blogging...
