I have a man-crush on Google Reader. I used to be a died-in-the-wool RSS Bandit user. Then I gave Google Reader a try. I was sold the minute I added a feed to the reader at work, and I didn’t have to re-add it on my reader at home. It’s nice to be able to read a couple feeds at work (business use only – I promise), then not have to worry about marking them as read on my reader at home. The reader is very simple and does what I want. Like Gmail it’s not perfect (or pretty), but it solves a problem: an RSS reader I can use anywhere. As always, here’s a screenshot.
On a side note, I really need to change the name of this series of posts. Google Reader isn’t exactly FLOSS. It is free though, so it gets a spot on my list of apps I use daily.
