Finding great stuff to read with Google Reader
August 25, 2009
I only followed a handful of blogs when I first started using
Google Reader
, but was always on the lookout for more great stuff to read. Over time, I discovered that my friends followed lots of interesting sites, and my reading list grew from 4 to 34 sites and blogs as I incorporated their recommendations.
Since then, Reader has launched several
sharing features
that make it easier to find and subscribe to feeds that your friends like, and we thought that recommendations could make finding good stuff to read even easier. This time, instead of asking our friends, we approached leaders across a variety of fields and asked them what they read online. We received lots of great responses, which we've collected into our second edition of
Power Readers
. In this edition, we've expanded from
Power Readers in Politics
to include journalists, techies, fashion critics, foodies and more. We hope this will be a good place to find great things to read, whether you already have an extensive reading list or are totally new to Google Reader.
Plus, now we can answer some questions that have interested us for years: Where does
Arianna Huffington
go to get different perspectives on the news? When
Paul Krugman
surfs the web, what are his favorite economics sites? What blogs do tech, foodie and fashion bloggers read? Visit
www.google.com/powerreaders
to explore and subscribe to any of their reading lists, or to any individual items that they recommend.
A big thanks to all of the contributors who shared their reading lists with us.
