Google Reader
October 7th, 2005
Well, it’s finally here—Google Reader, for all your RSS/Atom feeds. (The existence of such a project at Google has been the subject of some speculation.) It seems like their UI is flashy but needs some polish to knock over venerable apps like Bloglines (the old standard) and My Yahoo! (the juggernaut).
Note, however, that Google Reader isn’t as up-to-date as FeedTree:
Figure 1. Google Reader (at right), not even aware of its own announcement on Slashdot yet. (FeedTree, at left, has the skinny.)
