Feeds on a plane!
Posted by Chris Wetherell, Software

With last week's launch of
href="http://gears.google.com/" >Google Gears, we're happy
to let you know that Google
Reader is the first Google web application made for online and
offline viewing. If you're not familiar with Google Reader,
it's a feed reader for getting updates from your favorite blogs
and news sites.
Now, you can read these updates whether you're on or offline.
It's easy to read today's financial news from the New
York Times on the train, or catch up on your favorite blog
while on a plane 35,000 ft. above the Atlantic.
Once you've installed Google Gears, you can download your
latest 2,000 items so they're available even when you don't
have an Internet connection.

To get started, simply click the "Offline" link in the
top right of Google Reader.
Please note, though, that the current version of Google Gears is a
developer release, which means you may notice a few kinks here and
there. We'll be working hard to iron those out over the coming
months, and as always, we welcome your

and suggestions as we look to make Google Reader better every
day.
