Instructions
- Start by launching your web browser in your Android-powered device.
- Open a site that has an RSS feed enabled. You can spot that a website supports RSS feeds by checking out the RSS feed logo on the browser’s address bar.

Google Reader is a great application that can help you keep track of important things on the web. New and fresh content will be delivered to your Google Reader account once the news is posted on your favorite website. The application can also keep track of RSS feeds that have not been read, so once you finish reading an article, all unread items will be marked.
The best thing about using Google Reader is that you no longer need to key in your favorite website’s URL. Gone are the days of visiting individual sites just to get a hold of the latest news. All of your favorite websites and news feed will be placed in a magazine-like design for you to enjoy. Consider Google Reader as your personalized magazine.
