Introducing Google Reader Play: A Visual Approach to RSS Feeds

Google Reader stands out as a premier application for managing and consuming RSS feeds. Now, Google is enhancing the experience further with the introduction of Google Reader Play.

This new feature offers a visually oriented method for browsing your RSS subscriptions, enabling quick and effortless skimming of content.

How to Access Reader Play

Accessing the Play view is straightforward. Simply locate the small arrow adjacent to each subscription or category of feeds. Selecting View in Reader Play from the dropdown menu will initiate the visual browsing experience.

While navigating items within Google Reader Play, core functionalities remain accessible. You can continue to Star, Like, or Share articles as needed.

Navigating the Play Interface

A thumbnail strip is displayed, providing a preview of the preceding and subsequent feeds. This facilitates seamless transitions between articles.

Feeds are presented as a slideshow, and navigation is remarkably simple. Clicking the 'next' or 'previous' arrows allows for intuitive movement through your content.

The interface allows for quick starting and stopping of the slideshow with a single click.
