Google Reader Gets a Make-Over: New Features!!!!

Google Reader just keeps getting better and better. This time, Google Reader Team has announced two new features - personalized recommendations and drag-and-drop feed management.

Instead of using menus to move your subscription to a different folder, you can now do it by simply dragging and dropping feeds into a different folder. You can also move feeds up or down in the same folder by dragging-and-dropping. This makes it a whole lot easier to manage your feeds.

The next new feature is personalized recommendations. Google Reader will now take a look at your subscriptions and web history data and recommends new feeds which will suite your taste. If you’re looking for new blogs to be added to your subscription, then this is a great place to start. However, if you’re someone like me who spends 3 – 4 hours per day going through feeds, then stay away from this feature unless you want your eyes to be glued to your screen all day.

In other Google related news, Blogger now allows you to leave comments using your OpenID. Prior to this, you need a Blogger or Google Account to leave non-anonymous comments.
