Google Launches Google Reader at Web 2.0

Darren writes "Google Reader, an online RSS reader, is currently being demo'd at the Web 2.0 conference. It apparently 'makes it easier to keep up with your ever-expanding reading list of content from across the web.' Here's the tour about how it works."

Interesting

[rebug]

But does it run on my old Web 1.0 system?

I'm not upgrading until at least Web 2.1.

The impossible dream!

Dare we dream the impossible? Do my eyes see correctly? Slashdot has vanquished the mighty Google, who lies slain by our feet!

This day shall live in infamy!

Its not slow.
Somebody subscribed the reader to www.google.com/reader/rss and now its dissapeared up its own arse.

I recommend Web 3.11 for Workgroups. RSS only seems useful in a world where we can work together...

So...

So when is Google going to release a web-based web browser?

googles slashdotted, so here's a link to the google cached version... err... oops, that won't work. :)

I upgraded to Web 2.0

I upgraded to Web 2.0, and -- wow -- the web really feels quite a bit snappier now!

Windows open and close much faster. In my OS X dock, the Safari icon hardly has a chance to bounce more than once before the web loads right up. I don't know what Google has done "under the hood," but Web 2.0 is TONS better than Web 1.0.

The only thing which doesn't work faster is Orkut, which chugs along and randomly barfs server errors just as always.

Anyway: thanks, Google! That's twice you've Changed Everything (tm) this week!

Absolutely Not!

I will not have an RSS Reader that is not on my own computer. How would I use it if I were to lose connectiv...

Oh, hell.
