I love Google Reader

October 11, 2006 By

Here’s the trick to learning to love Google Reader. First, I visit http://reader.google.com. Second, I import my OPML file from NewsGator. Third, I go to “All items.” Fourth I learn to use the “J” and “K” keys. J goes forward through all the items. K goes backward. Then I click on things that I want to share with you.

    you don’t even need to click on the things you want to share. “s” is the keyboard shortcut for starring; “shift+s” is the keyboard shortcut for sharing. no clicking, faster sharing!

    The new Google Reader is great. I’ve added a bunch of new subscriptions lately. I have been starring like mad with the intention of going back and re-reading these gems–yeah right. I think I’ll have to get into the habit of sharing instead. Shift-S is a handy shortcut.

    I’m getting fairly annoyed with the Google Reader. When I go through the posts, it is correctly flagging items as read, but then when I hit refresh (r), it marks them unread again.

    This is in the show all items view, with only new items displayed. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or what.

    Thanky!

    P.S. I’ve been accessing it via my mobile as well, http://reader.google.com/view/m, and the river of news style rocks. Especially if you have nothing to do, a few hours to kill and want some brain candy.

    For quite some time I wanted to migrate to Google Reader but couldn’t find a way how to export all of my feeds in one go from Bloglines.
    Thanks to this post, I have successfully imported my feeds into Google Reader and have started reading them on this platform.
    The one good thing that I really liked about Google Reader was the fact that I could easily rename a particular blog under its writer’s name. I couldn’t do that in Bloglines.
    I don’t know if it’s the right time to say goodbye to Bloglines, but I am on the way…

    Awesome! Thanks for sharing your read items!

    If only more bloggers did that. And you would aggregate that. Would be way cooler than digg.
