Googlemercial

If you don’t use Google Reader, you’re not living life to the fullest. I’m serious. If you subscribe to many blogs that update sporadically (like mine, for instance), you need this utility. Tired of traveling all the way across the internet to your favorite blog, only to find that there was nothing new to read? Not to worry. Google Reader will tell you when anything new is posted! Tired of typing all of those w-w-w’s and can’t remember if it was a forward slash or backslash in your favorite blog’s URL? Not to worry! With Google Reader, you only have to type it in once to subscribe initially! That’s right. Set it and forget it! After that, the reader will snag the latest posts from your favorite blogs and deliver them to your email-like inbox! This may be the best invention since the remote control.

But wait! There’s more! You can clip Google Reader to your personalized google homepage, so you’d be getting real-time updates every time you open up your browser!

But wait! There’s more! Google Reader is enabled with Google Gears. What is Google Gears? It is an application that allows you to use the internet, even when you don’t have an internet connection! It essentially works like podcasting, in that it downloads what you need when you have an internet connection, so that it can be accessed when you don’t. Now you can read your blogs while commuting to work. Brilliant. Plus, this way you won’t have to get your hands dirty setting up the alternative – Google’s G-flush technology.

No purchase necessary. Just click here or click on the "subscribe" icon in the upper right hand corner of this page.

What will the good folks at Google think up next?

Taoist Proverb


The fish trap exists because of the fish. Once you've gotten the fish you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit. Once you've gotten the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning. Once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him?
