Now preview in Google Reader

Ok, Google is on definitely on steroids, not only are they chugging out ways to deploy your web application on the Google infrastructure, they are releasing cool stuff for their existing applications. I'm talking about Google Reader and the new 'Preview' Feature which lets you preview your feeds now within your favourite feed aggregator.



Now you don't have to worry about managing multiple tabs, closing multiple windows. I think it's gonna be a cool feature. Would like check it out if it the preview feature bypasses the website blocks in offices, like for example Technorati sites are totally blocked at my workplace. So i'll check it out tomorrow and update the post. I'm kinda worried if those Firefox add ons for del.icio.us works fine to bookmark my favourite feeds with this new preview feature.

You can still save your feeds by adding a star to your feeds in Google reader. But the starred items feature stll doesn't let you tag your feeds. I guess that's something that Google can work on next.

Preview feature to be or not to be... well... let you know after i check this feature in office :)

Update: Well it turns out that the above new feature has nothing to do with Google. It's my biggest online goof up. The preview feature comes with installing the 'Better GReader Firefox extension' by LifeHacker. I think I shouldn't elaborate anymore, I will leave you guys in peace to laugh over this. I'll try not to make a habit out of this.
