October 6, 2006 – 21:02

Google Reader (the Google online RSS reader) got a bigass update last week, and although I’m practically using it daily I didn’t really look into any of the new features it has until now. Once again they improved on an already good concept, so Bigup the Google kru! Boh! Keeping up with a ton of [...]
