RSS via Sergei & Larry

Sergei and Larry? of course silly the creators of Google!

You all know I'm a big fan of Gmail, but I have recently become an even bigger fan of RSS feeds.

RSS was "RDF Site Summary", but is more commonly known as "Really Simple Syndication". It's a very simply way of getting your favorite websites, which are regularly updated, to download to your "reader" in one page. So I like Engadget, Gizmodo and Digg. I can click on the little Orange RSS logo at the end of the URL line and load it into my reader so that every minute all of those sites can get loaded on one page instead of me looking at 3 pages. In reality I have over 20 sites I follow and this puts them all on one page listed from the latest entry to the oldest.

Google Reader is available to gmail users and is totally free and you can get your info from anyones computer from anywhere.

As you can see it's quite easy to read and navigate.


All you need to do is to go to a website that has that icon and then click it. Goto the tab and select "google".. default says something else and you will need to check the box saying to use google as default. It's as simple as that. Then log into google reader.
