Occasionally, we’ll stumble across something great that lives out on the web, and lately we’ve tripped over Google Reader.

Google Reader is the answer to managing all of your RSS feeds (yes, there are others). If you don’t know what an RSS feed is, then today is the day to find out what you’ve been missing.

Google Reader manages all of your feeds, marks off posts you’ve read, allows you to save great posts “star them,” share with friends and my favorite: Google Reader is available on iGoogle and for your mobile phone. So imagine, you’re sitting in the doctor’s office, and you remember you have 74 feeds that you’ve been meaning to read. Pull up Google Reader on your phone, and you have your 1 1/2 hours of reading material you never knew you needed.

For you RSS junkies or those who always wanted to subscribe to a feed, but really didn’t know the best tool to use, Google Reader is a great place to start.

For more information, Google Reader has a tour. And please, let Merge’s Blog be the first RSS you add: http://mergeweb.com/wordpress/?feed=rss2.

Happy RSS’ing!
