Google unveiled a RSS reader today at Web 2.0.

It’s called Google Reader and its mission is to allow you to:

“Spend your time reading what you care about most.”

(please note: celebrity news, sports scores, etc. doesn’t count)

Like a lot of what’s already out there, Google Reader is a browser-based application and is compatible with most popular browsers. A Google search box at the top lets you search for feeds and you can view the feeds you’re subscribed to on a reading list with a preview pane that lets you get a sneak peek at feed content.

Some of the more interesting features include a built-in algorithm that learns what content you like and prioritizes your feeds accordingly. There’s also sharing capabilities which let you post feed content to a blog (only on Blogger though) or email your feeds via Gmail.
