Google Reader – A Tool To Keep Up With Blogs

Handmade sellers and artisans are notorious for loving social media and blogs.  If you are having trouble keeping up with the websites and blogs you visit, Google Reader may be a great solution for you.   Google Reader allows users to read updates in one place.  Google Reader promises keeping up with your favorite websites is as easy as checking your email!

Google Reader was released by Google in October of 2005 through Google Labs.  In September 2007, it graduated from beta status, and now includes features like a mobile interface and a version specifically formatted for the Wii web browser.

To be sure you don’t miss a thing, Google Reader constantly checks your favorite news sites and blogs for new content. You can also share content with your friends and family.  Google Reader has a built-in public page, making it easy for users to share interesting items with other.

Best of all, Google Reader is free and can be used anywhere.  It works in most browsers, without any software to install.
