Google Reader is a web application that allows users to monitor updates from various blogs and news feeds. It saves time by providing all updates in one place rather than visiting each website individually. It works with existing Google accounts and allows users to easily add and remove subscriptions. Users can share, organize, and keep track of posts they have read or want to revisit later. The application can be accessed from desktop and mobile devices.
