Thanks for the google reader tips! I’ve just recently started subscribing to rss feeds and haven’t gotten a chance to really figure out how it all works. This was a nice little vid that explained the basics for me and I got to see how others use google reader compared to myself. Looking forward to the advanced video! Nice Job Brent!
