Google to detect updates from sites without RSS

Google Reader is one of Google’s lesser know products but something that has revolutionised the way some people read content online.

Essentially Google Reader is an RSS aggregator; it allows you to manage RSS feeds generated from sites. You then access these from an online dashboard (work, home, mobile), thus ensuring you keep up to date with your favourite sites. This removes the need for you to visit the site to check for updates, new content comes to you.
