RSS Reader service launches
Google have launched their Google Reader service for the Wii, which allows you to subscribe to RSS feeds and then updates you when new content has been posted.
The service has been optimised for the Wii-mote meaning that navigation should be effortless. The Google reader service can be accessed by pointing your browser to: http://www.google.com/reader/wii
Here are some of the features that we'll be able to enjoy from the service:
The left side of the screen displays your subscriptions (feeds). Each subscription has a count of all unread posts, which indicates how many new items are available to read. Clicking on a subscription shows you items from that subscription.
The "All items" link shows you items from all of your subscriptions. You can choose to auto-sort this list so that feeds with few posts (for example a friend's blog) rise above feeds that post more frequently. This allows you to catch those posts that might otherwise fall into the background because of other high volume subscriptions.
The right side of the screen displays your items. You can choose to display your items in list view or expanded view. The compact list view allows you to quickly skim the latest headlines, while the expanded view displays the full content of the items.
By default Google Reader displays all items, but you may prefer to show only new items—that way, things you've already read don't keep you from finding new content.
