Reader May 26th, 2007 - By HaochiGoogle Chris Wetherell posted about the birth of Google Reader…
At Google one day, like every day, I was really busy.
Turns out that with Jason Shellen that wasn’t really much of a deterrent. “Why don’t you make an Atom parser in Javascript?”, he asked.
Which, for the non-geeks, is his asking me to make something that turns something into something else which could be used to represent data that was basically about cat photos.

Been using Google Reader since it has born and its rocks! That is my portable RSS feeder.
