I picked this up from Brian E. Cooper’s blog.
Google dwelves in to the RSS Aggregator Domain. I am begining to feel that they would do anything to place ads along side content, but the strange thing is there arent any with the reader (atleast not yet, and I am sure we can expect them in the future).
Whats my take on it, I guess its easier to say the contras becuase everybody knows what to expect from an aggregator.
- I would have assume that there would be a newspaper view of blog items, but I couldnt find any.
- I would have preferred that there be an option to email an item in addition to just Gmailing it.
- There apprently isnt a mechanism where you could mark an entire category as read (which means you will have to revisit all your read items on first usage).
- I would have liked somekind of functionality to blog an item.
Or maybe I am too lazy to go searching for these things at 1:30 am in the morning. Atleast if they were there, they should be more visible.
Still for all, it sports some nice AJAXivity (is there a word like that).
