Google Reader

I have found a wonderful new tool on the internet (thanks to a friend of mine) that I thought might be helpful for others. It is Google Reader. It is a wonderful site that finds the updates for you on any websites you want (at least that's what it says... I have, however, only used it for blogging sites and it has worked fabulously) so that you don't have to check your favorite sites all the time. You can even put it on your Google homepage!

One of the things that I have struggled with while blogging is remembering to check everyone's blog frequently enough to catch the updates. Google Reader does it for you. You can even read all the entries of a blog from Google Reader and don't ever have to go to all the different sites to read them (although I still like to go to the actual site once in awhile). Anyway, if you know anyone who could use this information (since most people reading this probably check their blogs and websites frequently enough that they may not need Google Reader), pass it on. In my experience, parents like it for checking up on their children's websites since they don't have to remember to check each blog themselves - Google Reader does it for them.

This may sound like a commercial, but don't you worry, I am not getting paid for this endorsement...
