I track a lot of websites and blogs--both from people in the recruiting industry, and from business leaders I follow, businesses in the local area, and top-talent in the area that I like to track because I respect their opinions.

Thanks to the simple-yet-powerful advent of RSS and ATOM feeds, content from news sites, job boards, search engines, clipping services, blogs, and a host of other web-based types of information can be SYNDICATED or republished directly to my machine, without having to remember hundreds of websites.
I simply get new content in my "feed reader" or "Aggregator", which operates similar to an email program, except that nobody physically sends me anything, my feed reader downloads the small feed from each site I subscribe to, and if there is new content there, it displays it.
Simple as that.
But finding a feed reader that worked for me wasn't so easy.
I tried online ones and offline ones, separate applications and extensions to my email program, even just feed readers that emailed new articles to my email program.
I tried Google Reader two or three times before settling on it. I've been using it consistently now about two months and I doubt I will ever change back.
So, even more excited am I that Google has launched a new look to the Google Reader tool, allowing, what appears to be, even more unique and intuitive information for me.
Nice.
