Preseason - Google Reader

If you enjoy reading continuously updated web content (such as blogs, etc.) and have ever wondered about or been overwhelmed by RSS feeds, have I got a solution for you!

Last night I was introduced to Google Reader  - a really slick way to stay on top of your RSS feeds without being overwhelmed. If you use Gmail or other Google services, you know what I'm about to say, even if you've never used the Reader.

Google takes all your RSS feeds, and drops them into one place. You can view them all in a "list" view (like your emails on Gmail) and review them at a glance to see which ones you might actually be interested in. Currently, in my Reader, I subscribe to two blogs, a Twitter friend, a Twitter search, and a YouTube channel. See the possibilities?

In the past, I'd used my Microsoft Outlook for RSS feeds. But you have to look at each feed individually to be able to see what was new. Using Google Reader, they are all on one page for easy skimming.

I'm just scratching the surface on all these new tools I'm learning about. I can't wait to spend this month learning even more and seeing how they will all work together for Internet Marketing!
