October 8: Google, Inc recently launched a new product, Google Reader, which is an aggregator for web feeds. The browser-based reader lets users add RSS and Atom feeds and search for them too. There was already an RSS reader in their downloadable Google Desktop as part of the sidebar and as part of their customizable homepage.
Sources for the Wikinews article included internetnews.com, BetaNews, and DNet News.
[edit] Features
The reader gives you a "reading list" that shows which items you've not read yet. You can sort items in this by relevance as well as date.
Like Gmail, you can apply labels and stars to your subscriptions.
The reader has a number of keyboard shortcuts, many of which are the same as those used in Gmail, making the application easy to use if you're already familiar with Gmail.
[edit] System requirements
According to the official FAQ, the only requirement is a modern browser:
- IE 6
- Firefox 1.0+
- Safari 1.3+
- Netscape 7.2+
- Mozilla 1.7+

Imports from Bloglines do not work well. The service seems slower than I'd expect. Angela 21:23, 10 Oct 2005 (UTC)
