New-look Google Reader Is Stunning!

A Google based RSS reader. Sounds sort of strange to me, but then most of the stuff Google is doing these days generally is.
Google Reader, Google’s web-based RSS Aggregator, has had a re-design and I am impressed. It now has a look n’ feel very much like Gmail, which I believe is a pointer to this product being prepped for mainstream promotion - and/or merged with Gmail. Probably a bit of both, as a standalone RSS Reader is always going to be needed. You’ll recall that the new Yahoo Mail Beta has RSS integrated into its email experience - and the reason for that is quite simply to reach the 250 Million odd people that have a Yahoo Mail account. What better way to make RSS a mainstream experience than to integrate it into the web email platform. So I expect Google to follow suit…. Source: readwriteweb.com

Well, they have come a long way. I dumped my SharpReader for Google Reader now, believe it or not.

I have to say that in Firefox there is a plugin called GTD that has intra grated the Google reader into Gmail. If I am mistaken it is the googlecustomize.com plugin I have both, but can’t remember which one is adding google reader. lol.
Both plugins are worth a check.
