Google Reader Play is RSS for Your Tablet, TV

Google has announced Google Reader Play, an experimental product that lets you access the best stuff in Read using a format ideally suited for tablets and TVs

In Google Reader Play, items are presented one at a time, and each item is big and full-screen. After you've read an item, just click the next arrow to move to the next one, or click any item on the filmstrip below to fast-forward. Of course, you can click the title or image of any item to go to the original version. And since so much of the good stuff online is visual, we automatically enlarge images and auto-play videos full-screen.

Reader Play will adapt to your tastes. As you browse you can click "like" button and you'll be shown more items that you might like. To like, star, or share you must be signed in to your Google account. If preferred, you can also navigate by categories.


Reader Play uses the same technology as the Recommended Items feed in Reader to identify and aggregate the most interesting items on the web. If you sign in, Reader Play will also be personalized with items that people you’re following have shared in Google Reader, and items similar to ones you’ve previously liked, starred, or shared.

In Reader, you can switch to the new view by clicking "View in Reader Play" from the feed settings menu. Otherwise you can hit the link below to go directly to Google Reader Play.
