Feeds on a plane!

Posted by Chris Wetherell, Software Engineer
With last week's launch of
Google Gears
, we're happy to let you know that
Google Reader
is the first Google web application made for online and offline viewing. If you're not familiar with Google Reader, it's a feed reader for getting updates from your favorite blogs and news sites.
Now, you can read these updates whether you're on or offline. It's easy to read today's financial news from the
New York Times
on the train, or catch up on your favorite blog while on a plane 35,000 ft. above the Atlantic.
Once you've installed Google Gears, you can download your latest 2,000 items so they're available even when you don't have an Internet connection.
To get started, simply click the "Offline" link in the top right of Google Reader.
Please note, though, that the current version of Google Gears is a developer release, which means you may notice a few kinks here and there. We'll be working hard to iron those out over the coming months, and as always, we welcome your
feedback and suggestions
as we look to make Google Reader better every day.
