Use Keyboard Shortcuts in Google Reader
Google Reader, the web-based Atom and RSS feeds aggregator, is all about convenience and speed – to my mind at least. Here is what I mean:
Convenience:
- It constantly checks your favorite sites for new content;
- You can access the service from anywhere in the world, as long as you have access to the internet or as long as you have an internet-enabled mobile phone.
Speed:
- You can speedily browse through the new content from your favorite sites (the one that Google Reader checked for – see above).
- You can easily find new content that interests you.
- sharing content with other Google Reader users is only one click away (just click he share icon)
In keeping with the speed theme above, here are the keyboard shortcuts that you can use in Google Reader, grouped by category:
