How to get through today with Google Reader

So, we all know what today is. And, unfortunately, many tech and web 2.0 sites like to take full advantage. So, I bring to you a technique for avoiding all this silliness using Google Reader. Its quite complicated, sorting the wheat from the chaff isn’t easy at the best of times, let alone today, so bear with me.

Ok, first, bring up Google Reader in your browser.

Then, click this button Google Reader View All . This ensures that whatever you do next will be applied to all posts.

Next, click this button Google Reader Mark All As Read Button .

And that should be it, all done. You will, however, have to apply the same “fix” every so often for the next 24 hours.

Enjoy a peacefull Sunday.

    Oh no — the sheer stress of marking all as read is stressing me ROFL. How I handle it is I go to the dashboard and quickly skim read. Read the title and the first sentence of each paragraph. If it does not grab me then its read!

    Doing this means I get to enjoy Sunday — unless one of my readers (thanks CogDog) points out that I missed testing an online reader!
