How to use Google Reader

by casscomerford • February 3rd, 2010 • posted in Corporate Cass, Video

I decided that I wanted to use my blog to post some things that I’m going to be linking to professionally from time to time. This is one of them.  Here’s a quick little video on how to use Google Reader – it’s VERY high level and I’m going to do a follow up with more features in the coming weeks but for people reading blogs by having a list of URL’s in their favorites this is an intro peak into the efficiency of using a reader like Google Reader.

Tell me for those veteran blog readers – any tips for newbies?  Do you use Google Reader or another reader?

    Google Reader is the best! I have no idea how I lived without it for so long...once you try it you'll never go back :)

    I am such a Google girl. I love my Google Reader. (I often question why I waited so long to move over from Bloglines!) I arrange my feeds alphabetically within folders. That way if I want to see cooking blogs, or sports blogs, or photography, or whatever, I click on that folder & that's what I get. I also have a folder just for new blogs I've discovered. I tend to "try out" a blog for a month or so, to see if I really do enjoy it enough to have it in my Google Reader, and if it makes the cut, it gets put into the appropriate folder.

    I was slooooow to move to Google Reader. Or, for that matter, ANY reader. I would click each link in my Favorites folder every. single. day. Yes, it took forever! And then I discovered Google Reader and I am in lust with it. Mainly because I now have ample time to comment on blogs. Before? I had so many to read, commenting on them all was not a luxury I had (and it cost me my own commenters :( ). For some reason, your new posts don't show up in my reader. I need to figure out why.

    I use Google Reader and love it. The only complaint is that I have too many blogs in my Reader and I can never keep up. But, it certainly is a great place to keep all of your favourite reads and to skim over their recent posts too!
