Using Google Reader Bookmarks

Video Transcript

So, now I'll show you another cool little feature you can use in your Google Reader. This involves your bookmarks tool bar. I have mine turn off right now but, if you use yours and whatever your web browser is you should know it. It would be right here under your tabs or under your navigation bar. To activate this I'm just going to settings and then to goodies. Then here are two of them right here. It says "Put Reader in a bookmark" and what this does, if I drag this up and just drop into my bookmarks tool bar that would be up here it'll create a little icon that says "next". Basically, what this does is in your all stories view, back in reader, it'll just take you to the first story. So, you can see It's Web Video blah, blah, blah and let me show you what happens when I click on that button. Click next and actually there is a newer story right here, but you get the idea. If this was in my bookmark tool bar just keep clicking it and it's going to take me to the websites. You can see up here I'm still in, I got this Google Reader up here if I wanted to go back to reader I would just click right there. What it's going to do instead of looking at things in this view I'll just take me to the web page of each story. That's why it's in the goodies section because you don't know if you want to read everyone. But, it's kind of a cool thing that you could use. You can also do the same thing but use it only in a tag. So, if I set it to fun, it will only show me the next story in my fun folder or fun tag. One other bookmark you can drag up into your bookmark tool bar is this "Subscribe". If your just surfing along and you see a website you know you want to subscribe to, instead of having go open Google Reader and then enter the URL you can just hit this subscribe key. So, those are some of the bookmarks you can use in your bookmarks tool bar from Google Reader.
