As many of you know, we have been using Gmail for our on-line communications for some time.
One of the many cool features (not to ignore the others) is the mighty Google Reader and the handy link Gmail provides when your in-box is empty. OK, OK not everyone manages to empty their in-box… but you can access Google Reader from the standard Google navigation as well.

OK, that’s nice, but what does Reader do anyway? Google Reader is basically an RSS feed reader. It reads the feeds from all of your favorite blogs and puts them in one place. What a great way to keep up to date on what your favorites are writing about. And the best part is, you only have to go to one place to find them all!
So what is RSS? Basically, RSS Feeds are a way for Web sites to distribute their content beyond just visitors browsing their site. They allow you to subscribe to regular updates delivered to your feed reader (Google Reader), and make it possible for site content to be packaged into other formats for use just about anywhere. Want to know more about feeds? Take a look at this post on the seOverflow blog to get the low down on the “how to”, what’s it all about, etc. or this Google help article – Feed 101.
Happy Feed Reading!

If you ever want to hear a reader’s feedback
, I rate this article for four from five. Decent info, but I have to go to that damn google to find the missed parts. Thanks, anyway!
Missed parts? are you speaking of the links to Feed 101 and seOverflow blog?
Those are both good information for those who have never used RSS before.
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful tip!
