Navigating Google Reader

Google Reader has a lot of useful keyboard shortcuts, but most of them only replace a click or two. For example, you can star an item by typing s or go to the original page by typing v.

But there's also a somewhat hidden view that can be activated only using shortcuts. If you type gu, you'll see a list of all of the blogs you've subscribed to. You can use the arrows to navigate to a feed or start typing the first letters from the feed's name. There's also a similar view for labels that can be activated by typing gl. This might be convenient if you have a lot of feeds or just to feel in control.

  1. What is "Items labeled 'officialgoogleblogs' by Google Reader in Google Reader?

  2. That's easy. Google Reader lets you label feeds (for example: officialgoogleblogs) and you can also make a label public. This way you get a feed and a HTML page that aggregates all the posts labeled officialgoogleblogs.

    Someone (from Google) aggregated all the official Google blogs and I subscribed to the feed.

    Here's the HTML page. and the feed.
