Internet is growing fast, and with that, so is the information available on the internet. Google is one company of the world which has been working really hard on collecting and arranging this information. Imagine being in an internet space where you didn't know how to search for relevant information! I remember a time when I would not remember a website address and would spend ages trying to get the address right. That problem doesn't exist today!
Coming specifically to how Google Reader helps now. Let's take an example of the Gmail Blog.
How would you keep track of when it is updated? Should you go to the Gmail blog once in a week? Or once a day? How would you remember whether you have already read this article earlier or not? Further, what if you read multiple blogs / news articles online? Would you go to each website and look for information updates?
Google Reader is a one stop solution for all these problems and many more. All you need to do is, go to Google Reader and click on "Add a Subscription on the Left Top of the window. Here, you could add any blog / news address directly and Google Reader would feed the data from that site directly into this interface.
This way, you never need to go to any of those blogs again. Google Reader is exactly like an inbox of mails, where each mail is an article that has been posted on the blogs you are subscribed to. Another huge advantage is "Search". Google Reader lets you search in the blogs you are subscribed to. This guarantees relevant results, as you are specifically defining which blogs / news articles you want to refer to.
For example, if you subscribe to NDTV news today. Now, you want to search for last 5 years of news on a specific company. You could search this NDTV feed, and it would give you all results of when news was published by NDTV on their online channel.
Do subscribe to the Wall on the right menu on my blog, and ask me any questions you have in mind.
