STUDY: Twitter Use Is On The Rise
Add Google Reader to your Firefox Sidebar
Google rolled out an improved iPhone interface for Google Reader this week, and here's something neat you can do with it: Add it to your Firefox sidebar. While you can open practically any web site in a Firefox sidebar, some web pages are better suited to the sidebar than others. And the iPhone version of Google Reader fits the bill because unlike the full version of Reader, it's designed for ...

Love Google Reader, but wish there was a desktop version of the RSS reader so you didn't have to open a web browser every time you want read your feeds? ReadAir is an Adobe AIR-based utility that lets you launch Google Reader as a standalone application. Since it's built on AIR, ReadAir runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. Currently the program's default skin has an OS X look and feel, but ...
Last year two services launched, giving bloggers easy access to threaded comments, spam control, avatars, and other advanced features. Disqus and Intense Debate also let you create a single profile which you can use to leave comments on any participating blog or web site. No need to register for each individual blog.
And since last year, thousands of web sites have adopted these two commenting ...
Google Reader users have long had the option of sharing items from their feeds. Just click the share button and anyone who knows the URL of your shared item feed can subscribe or view your shared items in a blog-like format. A few months ago, Google even started showing your shared items to your Gmail contacts automatically. But if you wanted to share items or web pages from sites that you didn't ...
How many of the applications you use on a daily basis are web-based as opposed to locally installed native applications? For me, the answer is way more than I ever would have expected. Had you asked me this question a few years ago, I would have vehemently denied that the future of development is on the web. As much as I could see and understand the value of a ubiquitously available web-based ...
We're pretty proud of everything we write around here, and we kind of think you should take the time to read each article posted on Download Squad. But we understand you're busy and you might not always have time to read every article on this or other sites. Last year, AideRSS offered a way to read just the top stories by assigning a PostRank to each article. And now AideRSS has made things even ...
Many web sites (including Download Squad) have an uncanny way of appearing attractive whether you view them on a full sized desktop web browser or a mobile web browser on your tiny cellphone screen. But if you don't have the time, energy, or programming expertise to create a mobile version of your web site, or if you want to read someone else's web site on your cellphone, there are a few easy ...
Ever with there was a way to track popular news/blog posts by following Google Reader shared item feeds without, you know, subscribing to dozens of feeds? The big problem with link blogs and shared item feeds is that if you subscribe to a bunch, there's a pretty good chance you're going to wind up seeing the same articles over and over. ReadBurner makes it possible to track shared items from ...
A few weeks ago Google launched a new feature that makes Google Reader a bit more social. Whenever you mark an item as "Shared," your Gmail/Google Talk contacts will be able to find that article by following a new "Friends' shared items" link in Google Reader. Now here's the thing: Google Reader shared items have always been available to the public. But in order to find a shared item feed you need ...
Google has added a new way to share your favorite feeds and articles with friends, through Google Talk, aka the Gmail address book. Google Reader has included a "Share" button for a while now, but if you wanted people to actually read your shared listings, you had to direct them to a URL or RSS feed. Now your Google Talk contacts can also see the items you're sharing on their Google Reader page. ...
It's a weekday, so we probably shouldn't be surprised to see a couple of updates from the Google camp. There are two new features in Google Reader. One could make your life a bit easier, while the other could do the same -- or it could become a huge time sink. The first new feature is drag and drop feed organization. In other words, you don't need to use drop down menus to place feeds in a new ...
Ionut Alex Chitu over at Google Operating System has spotted a few new updates from the Google camp today. First up is faster RSS updates in Google Reader. Until recently, Google would only update some feeds once an hour, while less popular feeds would only be refreshed every three hours or so. Considering the fact that Google has recently managed to launch search engine technology that manages ...
There's a neat little trick that lets you see how many people are subscribing to a site's RSS feed in Google Reader. All you have to do is fire up Google Reader, click the "Add Subscription" button and type a web site name or keyword. Google Reader will spit out a list of blogs and news sites along with the number of users who have subscribed to that site using Google Reader. These numbers are ...
Feed Each Other is a new social RSS reader. What does that mean? Well, it's kind of a social network and RSS reader all rolled into one, sort of like a cross between Google Reader and Facebook. As an RSS reader, the layout should be pretty familiar to anyone who uses Bloglines, NewsGator, Google Reader, or any of the other popular web-based RSS readers. You can organize your feeds into folders ...
