Google has finally added search to the Reader product. I woke up and got this surprise.

Gotta love it. Now all they need to do is add better tasks to Google Calendar so that I can see whats due soon as well as set reminders. I wouldn’t mind better color coding too.

So I check out the trends feature a realized something, I can’t maintain a normal sleep schedule.

So at 3-4am is the drop due to no one else publishing or me sleeping.

If you like to stay current you have to read a lot of websites. RSS Feeds are like a gift from heaven because they make it so much easier to browse and ignore content. Using a RSS reader like Google is like reading 100s of printer friendly websites at one time. No outrageous ads and quick, easy browsing. I’d thought I’d share some of the feeds that I subscribe to currently.

• TechCrunch - Just like Mashable but more focused. I’ll read a story here before I go to Mashable.
• Engadget - Who doesn’t like gadgets? I wish they would shut up about the iPhone though.
• Official Google Blog - Keep an eye on what Google is doing.
• Slashdot - News for nerds. Now that JonKatz is gone the site is pretty decent. They could use a spell checker though.
• Digg / Technology - most of Digg is now filled with spam, repeats and bad spelling. Occasionally they have some links that I haven’t seen somewhere else. I do enjoy watching diggnation every once and a while.
• How to Change the World - Guy Kawasaki’s blog. I like to read his insights as an entrepreneur.
• Mashable - I like to see whats new in the web.
• Penny Arcade - Because their comics aren’t daily its nice to see when they put out new comics.

The only complaint I have about Google Reader right now is that you can’t use search. The lack of search makes no sense to me. Where is the text search Google? Isn’t your whole business model ads and search.
