Google has announced a web-based feed reader called Google Reader, at the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco.
The product features a clean, easy-to-use interface and includes a comprehensive feed finder, multi-media feed displays, and algorithms that can assist users with automatic content prioritization, plus easy sharing capabilities with email and "blog this" features.
Google Reader enables users to find and subscribe to online feeds, organize and stay up-to-date on the amount of web information they consume on a daily basis. It aggregates news and updates from selected sites and lets users subscribe to material from the sites, and create a reading list that they can sort and organize. They can post news items to their blogs or send them to friends via e-mail, directly through the Reader site.
The reading list helps users keep up with the latest news and updates from the sites they've subscribed to. Users can scan their reading list and click on what looks interesting, as well as order their reading list by date or by relevance.
Users can also label items they may want to check out again later. The reader keeps track of what users have read and removes those items off the list the next time it is refreshed. Google Reader lets users import subscriptions from other programs as well as export them.
Google said that Reader is part of its ongoing effort to combine Google functionality with personalized web content, to make information more relevant and useful to users.
