Reeder, our go-to RSS app, is now available for the Mac. Like its iOS brethren, this 1.0 "draft" doesn't offer search, tagging or any feed-management tools, but it does have a sleek in-app browser and Reeder's excellent set of sharing options (Facebook, Delicious, Instapaper and more). The minimalist app shows promise with its refreshing approach to the information flood, but we'd really ...

Whew. What a week it's been. First, we cleaned up our Reader's act, then we got some friends and followers, and recently we shut the door to any nosy neighbors in our privacy rundown. Now, we are going to teach you to share your Reader finds with anyone, including your friends on other social networks and news sites. Don't worry. You can thank us later. ...

You're amped. You've whittled your Google Reader account into perfectly organized folders and categories, and you're cruising the Web at warp speed, sharing links left and right. But you suddenly realize that you aren't quite sure if you want your future employer and/or offspring to see that you are a huge fan of cat sweaters. Maybe you have been bit by the bug of oversharing? Yesterday, we ...

Yesterday, we showed you how to use Google Reader to get organized, put together folders and take advantage of feed recommendations. So you think you've finally got RSS all figured out, right? Well, don't get too cocky, kid, because today we're going to explode your Google Reader world. Since you're now up to date on world news and breaking LOLcats news, you're going to want to show your legions ...

So you want to master your RSS feeds, eh? (If you don't know RSS, read our thorough breakdown.) Google Reader is our go-to feed aggregator, and -- if you're a Gmail user -- we're willing to bet that it's yours, too. You can access Reader through Gmail, Google, or even directly at reader.google.com, but you probably know that already. After all, you're no novice Reader(-er); you're just horribly, ...

Many of us here at Switched spend hours a day clicking around inside Google Reader, an essential part of our news-reading operations. Multi-touch gestures are great, but are the rest of our blogging bodies wasting away without more involvement? Matt Richardson's new Google Reader Pedal rips the guts out of a USB keyboard to create a foot-controlled button for moving forward to the next news item ...

RSS's demise is being touted around the blogosphere again this month, but, frankly, we can't live without really simple syndication. Yes, iPad apps like 'Flipboard' and 'Twitter' are innovative in their abilities to make sense of what your friends are sharing on social networks, but, for our money, there's nothing quite like the dopamine-addled, mouth-to-the-firehose thrill of loading up a couple ...

Google News got a major overhaul last night, and, as you'd expect, the site's major changes revolve around user autonomy. The news aggregation site now lets you choose to view stories in headline or section view, and, with the help of a drop-down menu, more easily shares stories on Facebook, Twitter, Buzz or Reader. The revamped version of Google News will also provide more local news and events, ...

There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web. Sanrio's number one feline continues to get her grubby paws on every brandable thing on Earth. This time, it's a Hello Kitty-themed Twitter client. [From: ...

digg_url ='http://www.switched.com/2010/03/10/google-launches-reader-play-a-fullscreen-news-reader/'; Yesterday, we spotted a strange tweet from the Google Reader team that simply read, "Getting ready to play..." Well, after about 24 hours of mystery, all has been revealed. (We could only hope that iamamiwhoami would be so prompt.) Google Reader Play is a new slideshow-esque tool that ...
