Google Reader

On some level I feel ashamed for not having known about this earlier. I knew about pretty much every little Google tool that existed but somehow reader and RSS eluded me. Apparently RSS refers to 'really simple syndication', but prior to me learning about Google Reader it wasn't quite simple enough.

I like to follow a lot of political blogs as well as a lot of music blogs and I can easily spend a few hours a day catching up on the latest news, releases, etc. More accurately I like to check blogs quickly a few times per day to see what's going on.

Google Reader has actually simplified my internet use (unlike a lot of these applications!) by letting me see quickly which blogs have updated and by letting me easily scroll through the headlines and stories.
