Posted by Chris Wetherell, Software Engineer, Google Reader
So we've added a new experiment to Google Labs:
Google Reader
, a service we hope helps you spend more time reading what's important to you (or is, if you'd prefer, nicely diverting). The Reader team is excited to begin iterating in public, and now that Jason Shellen's announced it at
Web 2.0
we're excited to get your feedback on this early-stage effort.
We often get asked how anyone's supposed to keep up with the firehose of stuff launched from the web's spigot, so we're offering Reader as a way to help. Like the
Personalized Homepage
, it's a part of Google's ongoing effort to bring together personalized web content to make information more relevant to users.
And, because I rarely get a forum like this, I'd personally like to thank Google for being able to participate in building Reader with the sorts of accomplished engineers who help keep these web bits pretty interesting. (Waves to Search, Gmail, Maps, Print, News, Suggest, etc.) Thankfully, we're not alone -- everyone involved from corporate entities to thousands of independent developers seem to be focused on lowering the barrier to entry for actually making feeds useful.
For a quick intro to Reader,
take the tour
, or just get started. I'd make recommendations from my starred items, but a quick scan reveals "still waters running deep" isn't me - I keep my item pool filled with snark (
Gawker
) or techno-fetishism (
Engadget
, I'm looking at you).
So go to
Google Labs
and give it a try. If you're interested in making Reader better, please
let us know
, as we plan on keeping the experiment alive and kicking as long as there is stuff being syndicated.
