It seems as today (or I noticed today) Google Reader has launched. It your web based feed reader powered by google, ajax, and awesomeness. All you need is a Google Account. So if you already have a gmail account you are all set.
I setup a couple feeds and it’s really quite a nice web application to use. The only problem I see with Reader is Google is so huge, what about other companies that are trying to put out a good feed reader? [ex: feedlounge.com] This reminds me of ODEO creating a really great podcast service… but then iTunes releases a new version supporting podcasting right around the same time ODEO launches. I’m sure feedlounge and ODEO will do just fine because they are run by great people and are great services, yet I think it kinda sucks when a large company comes in like that.
Either way, go checkout Google Reader beta
**UPDATE**
ALSO, read the comments, cause this reader isn’t all that rad to me now. I thought it was… but it’s not. For a couple reasons, mainly because it works weird.

Dude, you have to be a total idiot to think this reader rocks. IDIOT!!!

Now I do. I thought it was cool at first… now I’m not all that pleased. You don’t have to call me an idiot, but that’s cool too.

Whoa, whoever uses a derogatory name exemplifies that name!
Being a web neophyte of sorts, I didn’t even know Google had a feedreader, so I thank you Daniel for posting this!

Daniel, I love your work, never let another person’s or troll/flamer in this case, impact what you do, always be an independent, creative thinker, expressing your own opinions without fear.
