If you haven’t used this little button yet, Google Reader is an amazingly simple yet robust tool. It allows you to have instant accesss to RSS feeds from across the web and create dynamic, sharable information that can be distributed to your network.

When used with the Alerts function of our toolbar, you can also have immediate keyword alerts setup on RSS to create a constant and immediate source of relevant information about the things you care about. We have included a “fast and easy” explanation video from our friends at Common Craft below for some additional points. You can also read the official Google Reader for Beginners or watch the less enthusiastic video from Google below.
