1981 and still counting

Nikhil Dev | July 8, 2007 | 1:45 am

Its been quite some time and I have totally forgotten to read my subscribed feeds. I had install Google gears on my laptop a couple of weeks back and was too lazy to sync then. just today synced then now I am surprised to know that I have just about 1981 feeds to read

now the fund part is that Google gears allows you to have just 2000 posts, at first I had though that I could never read that limit. But looks like the days is not too far.

For all you people who want to know more about what Google gears is all about, here is a small description from my side.

To read any feed, you always need to be online. Google as taken a step ahead and made the feeds available online. All you need to do is get onto a windows machine, go to the google reader website where you have subscribed to all your feeds. You have instructions on how to install the gears appliance on your machine. Install that and bookmark you Google reader link. After you have restarted your firefox,  you have a down pointing arrow. Clicking on that will download all the unread posts to your machine. Now you can use the bookmarked url to read those posts even when you are offline. The next time you connect to the internet, the arrow would be pointing upwards. clicking on that will upload all the changes to the feeds like the read ones to the reader server and arrow will turn t down pointing again so that you can download the new feeds. now how much more easier can this get. I think I will be able to read more posts now.

Give it a try
