I love using Google Reader. It helps me keep up with topics I’m interested in or stay up to date with my friends blogs without actually visiting every single one. I’ve tried to tell all my friends about it, but a lot of them still don’t know what it is or are too lazy to set it up. Now Google has come up with a no-set-up required version at http://www.google.com/reader/play/. If you have time, go check out and browse interesting things on the web. If you’re using Google Reader, you can switch to this view by clicking “View in Reader Play” from the feed settings menu. (0)(#)
