The spell check, I mean. Oh, and Google reader. I tend to keep my real personal email away from Google, but I really don’t mind the equivelant of watching me leaf through a magazine or newspaper.

I have an rss plugin for WordPress that I never liked, I have used the massive Sage extension for FireFox, have tried the live bookmarks, and I even tried the Google homepage (http://www.google.com/ign), but they all seemed really clunky to me. It seems those Google folks knew there was a better way, and I am happy they did.

Thanks for the pointer to protopage, always fun to find new ways… I have not seen that one before.

You are in my favorites, but you just havn’t posted anything in the last few days that says “mark for future reference”. Actually, you have not posted _anything_ in the last few days.

I may have to give this a shot. (or at least I know I’m growing my own lawn chair this year!)

Yet another nice creation from Google that allows them to see what you’re into. It’s all about targeted ads for them. However, I don’t think anyone minds (or cares) as long as they keep pumping out nice features like this.

I considered, and am considering, building a basic reader/parser using MagpieRSS and throwing that into a links page. Similar to the functionality on Protopage. Although I hate the thought of hitting someones server every time the page is requested. (magpie has caching but it’s always been a bit squirrely for me).

btw, I love the keyboard shortcuts that the Google reader is using, nice touch.
