Functionality
Principle of Operation
The user can subscribe to newsletters using the Google Reader search engine or by entering an immediate URL . New messages will appear on the left side of the screen as a list, which can then be sorted by date or relevance.
Sharing Access
Entries in Google Reader can be shared among multiple users. This can be achieved by sending the user a link to a shared resource by e-mail . However, the functionality of Google Reader allows a group of users to create a website that will include all messages related to their account. Other users may be notified of changes to this collective page.
