Buccaneer and a MAC

While people are busy playing with what appeared aside of the customize google search results, google has let users play with the search results themselves.

Quoting from a article on experimenting the google search, users will be able to push thier search results up and down as they like.

Aside of each search result will be two buttons, much like a stumble upon “go” or “no go”.

Clicking on go will move the search result up and to the first.

Clicking on bury will remove the listing.

Users need to be signed in to see tier changes reflected.

The name google stands for itself and promises a lot of innovation. That’s the thumb which separates google products from others.

I was using bloglines an year ago, i did not complain, it was good, and did its work well. But when i switched to google reader, it was altogether a new story. The advantages are listed here

1. A neat ajaxified approach and interface - web2.0

2. Tagging by labels. I guess this is present every where now

3. A google powered search in your feeds

4. Star posts - to get to your favourites posts soon, just like gmail.

5. Share posts - a one click share to notify your friends about a post mutually enjoyed.

6. While sharing to a group was difficult, google reader now offers a friend’s shared items, letting you know when your friends are online in gtalk, and share them the feeds. Too good!!

7.  No download or updates required.

8. A universal google login for Gmail, blogger, orkut and more…

9. Discover the posts, get posts by key words. Remember google search results are better than any thing else.

10. This was one of the primary reasons i switched, the FireFox add-on, which shows and checks for feeds as and when i browse the web. There are two addons.

• google reader watcher
• google reader notifier

I have tried both and i prefer the first one. Its handy, cool and customizable.

I did hear and tried some desktop feed readers, but it looks like i need a download, and update and offers no portability.

If you feel, there are other good feed readers, do share your comments.
