Become a Google Reader. Group all of your news and blog updates into one area.

Google Reader is one option offered by Google that you may have ignored in between updating your status on Google+ or sending an e-mail through G-mail. Perhaps you are interested in cooking blogs, or you want to follow the Mizzou Tigers’ sports achievements in real time. Reader is a tool that helps you  do so by allowing you to subscribe to RSS feeds and Atom feeds, which display regularly changing web content so you can keep up to date on your favorite websites and blogs.


1. Getting started as a Google Reader: Just like learning the ABCs, you have to begin somewhere.

How long before service gets slow just like DSL/Cable?

You have a dedicated wireless connection that is not shared like other connection types. We monitor network usage carefully to insure you receive great performance.
