How would you like to save an hour a day and stay more informed than ever before?
Google Reader is a great to tool to help track information on the Internet, identify stories of interest, and quickly link to relavent content.
First, get a Google account and sign up for Google Reader. Next, visit the sites and blogs you normally visit and if they have an RSS feed add it to Google Reader. I like to label my feeds and categorize them based on topics.
Next, swith to the List view. Now when you load up Google Reader you have a simple window within which to scan new posts from your favorite sites. Once you find something of particular interest you can either visit the site and leave a comment, tag the posts and choose to make your tag list public, or quote the post in one of your own posts.
All three option have great implications for linking to your site and enable you to easily follow a topic or story as it unfolds.
