On the other hand, with a sensible usage, you’ll waste less time while gaining in knowledge (and since knowledge is power, all sort of savings are within reach). Reader is the name, Google Reader. It is a news feed reader that access Atom feeds and present them in a gmail like fashion on your favorite browser.

Well, Google reader had been discontinued on July 1, 2013. After searching for alternatives for a while, I identified http://feedly.com/ as an alternatives.
