GOOGLE READER GETS A NEW FACELIFT

Google Reader just got better with its new user interface and some new features like folder based navigation which makes organizing feeds easier and fun. Unread counters enables to visually see number of unread posts. And finally if your sick of reading posts, you can mark all as read. Now every Google Reader user will get his own public page where he can share his favorite posts, this feature comes handy for users who want to share their photoblog with their friends and family

The new UI makes you feel like your reading your emails on Gmail rather than feeds. I welcome this new change, but I’ll stick to my good old Netnewswire for managing my feeds. If your a regular Google Reader user and if you haven’t yet added TechBuzz to your subscriptions, then click here

GTALK FOR EVERYONE

Google Talk used to be only for Gmail users, but now anyone can sign up for Google Talk and chat with their friends instantly (without Gmail account). Google Talk allows you to transfer files and folders, send Voicemails, but still some features like chat history and mail notification are available for Gmail users only.. ain’t that cool !!

Since Google Talk is powered by Jabber, I think Google could have done it a lot earlier.

Happy Birthday Google

Google just turned 8 today, They started off on September 27th 1998, back then Google was just a Search Engine Company. But now, Google has got Maps, News, Word processor, Videos, Blogger, Picasa, Talk and what not… I hope to see more such apps and tools from Google in future. Happy Birthday Google and Congratulation Larry and Sergy
