I’m not going to comment on the Google Reader (RSS reader) which Google unvieled at the recent Web 2.0 conference. I think there are more than enough reviews of the service. If you’re completely in the dark with regards to the Google Reader, I’ve compiled the most recent links compliments of SearchFox RSS:

// Google Reader – Beautiful, Needs Work
// Google launches Google Reader web-based RSS reader
// Google just dropped a feed reader
// Google Reader launched

The general consensus is that Google has room for improvement. I was wow’d for about 5 mins – the total amount of time it took to import my feeds and read through 2 unread posts – before I realized that it’ll take a lot more than AJAX and a Gmail-esque interface to drag me away from my current reader.

If you’re happily utilizing Google Reader for your syndicated news, you’ll probably be interested in this handy bookmarklet [source]. You’ll need to be signed into your Google account before clicking this bookmarklet to subscribe to your current page.
