Comments from those who selected Google Reader as one of their Top Tools 

• “the only feed reader that matters anymore Adam” Schwartz
• “is my aggregator for all content I monitor via RSS. I like it because it lets me manage subscriptions easily including mobile access. Without it, I couldn’t keep up-to-date” Janet Clarey
• “the best way to keep on top of everything that’s going on” Barry Sampson
• “Another way to keep oneself in touch with the buzz. I probably subscribe to far too many RSS feeds from blogs and other sources, but scanning through them in Google reader, especially on my pda, is another great way to keep myself up to date.” Helen Whitehead
• “It’s like reading 100 newspapers at once. Goes great with coffee in the morning.” Rich Chetwynd
• “The only way that I am able to keep up with the things that I want to read. Outsourcing my subscriptions and read/unread statusses to Google makes it possible for me to use my laptop, my cellphone or any random computer and see the same information. I just wish there was an open source project that would do the same and could run on my own server.” Hans de Zwart
