They take a while to learn, though.StyleyGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287051608503966129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20717535.post-33171127229297983042007-04-30T07:58:00.000+10:002007-04-30T07:58:00.000+10:00I second Kelly's vote - I only use Google Reader i...I second Kelly's vote - I only use Google Reader in list view. It's nice to be able to just press j to go to the next item (k if you need to go back) - and if there's something I want to come back to later, I can star it.<BR/><BR/>Also, for fun, press u in reader. Gives you a little bit more room!Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09618702157154334799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20717535.post-57531730489604842652007-04-30T05:25:00.000+10:002007-04-30T05:25:00.000+10:00I used to use Google Reader (II used to use Google Reader (I <3 everything Google) but then I found Vienna (which, admittedly is nothing like Google Reader, besides the fact it collects RSS feeds).

The other thing that helps <I>me</I> (YMMV) is "list view", where only the titles of posts are shown until you click (or keyboard-nav) onto them. I love this particularly for feeds with lots of frequent updates. However, list view (vs. expanded view) is a global setting for all of your feeds. Try it for a while and see what you think?Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156061776476400701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20717535.post-62112028403452416992007-04-29T21:05:00.000+10:002007-04-29T21:05:00.000+10:00Of course you would.
