Thing #28 Google Reader

Google Reader is a very handy tool when it comes to organizing the information that you want to see everyday all into one easy to access place. I have used Google Reader since one of the earlier thing activities and have seen that it can be very helpful.

Google Reader would be very beneficial to libraries because it could allow patrons to be updated easily about what's happening at the library and for the library to be updated with the potential RSS updates of different organizations or patron groups.

My favorite feature of the Google Reader is the Send to feature. It is a great feature because it allows you to pick from a wide range of places to send whatever you find interesting like Blogger, Facebook, or Twitter but you can also add in other places to send what you want to share.

I'm subscribed to Books, News, and many different blogs and web comics.

Overall Google Reader is a great tool to organize what you wish to read on the web and to find new things to read about topics that interest you.
