Google launches feed reader [updated]

Google has launched a browser-based feed reader (or aggregator) at the Web 2.0 conference. Search Engine Watch says:



Google Reader is "the most comprehensive feed finder available," said Jason Shellen, the Google product manager who spearheaded the development of the program. Comprehensive, yes, but Reader also adheres to Google's trademark simple, easy-to-use design philosophy. "We're trying to find an easier find and subscribe model for feeds," said Shellen.





The program features a Google search box at the top which allows you to search for feeds or do an entire web search. Like most other feed readers out there, Google reader has two panes. The left side displays your reading list and the feeds you've subscribed to, and a preview pane on the right allows you to read feed content.



But at the time of writing, all I'm getting is a 'try again later' message....

Update: Inside Google has a round-up of reactions.
