Google Reader >> Play

If you are a Google fan like me, you know what a Google reader is. If you have a Gmail, and subscribed to Google reader, you'll see a shortcut at the upper left portion of your gmail screen. But for those who are not fans of Google and does not have a gmail account,a Google reader is a web-based aggregator, capable of reading Atom and RSS feeds online or offline. Is that too technical for you? We'll its like you are subscribed to a magazine that you receive the monthly issue right at your doorstep. But on this case, its subscription on your favorite websites that sends you updates daily on your google account. Gets?

Okay, so I am subscribed to Cuteoverload for some uber cute photos of animals that makes me smile all the time, PopSugar for my daily doze of Hollywood! Boston Globe's The Big Picture for News Stories in Photographs, the Kitchn for some cooking tips and inspirations and the WebUrbanist for some visual culture and weird stuff. All these feeds are in text format which I am okay within. I'm not hard to please.really. But when Google came up with something completely different (as the title of the Google Reader blog), I was so eager to try it out.

It’s called Google Reader Play, and it’s a new way to browse interesting stuff on the web that’s easy to use and personalized to the things you like. Best of all, there’s no set-up required: visit google.com/reader/play to give it a try."

And so I gave it a try and loved it! Random information around the world in just a click of a mouse. I even learned that scientist has prove that  HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) is bad for us...
