Google makes its RSS reader more fun to use

We study hard, work hard, play hard, eat hard, and the list of hard goes on and on. With all the other hard in the list, do we still have the time to do other things we love and like? Do we need to surf hard too? It’s a torture!

Coming back from a long day and we hope to sit down in front of the computer and have a quality surfing. Sadly, the Internet is big ocean and finding quality information is like finding a needle in a haystack.

With all the bliss of surfing, we would be yelling out – “Thank Google!” Why thank them you would wonder? Let me tell you why – Google Reader Play!

What is Google Reader Play? It is a highly intuitive and friendly RSS reader conceived by Google Labs. It immerses the reader with a full screen filmstrip style of thumbnail surfing. It’s like viewing a photo album on your computer – pointing and clicking. As you browse, you even have the option to Star things you want to read later, Like things you like the world to enjoy, and Share things with your friends and contacts! The filmstrip also enlarges and displays video embeds like YouTube.

For existing users of Google Reader, you guys would have to kiss goodbye to your existing feeds. Put your dismay aside, and say hello to the content recommended by Google Reader users worldwide. It’s not so bad actually, information by popular demand.

Did I say intuitive earlier? Because it will not require you to perform a login (Phew! less one password to remember!), and if you use your Google account, it would point you towards information you are interested in. Just sign in and browse away.

With everything seems nice, nothing is perfect. There might be an instance that you would like to view the original post, but when you revert back to the feeds, you will have to go back through the items viewed before.

Needless to say, it’s a service to enjoy.
