Google Makes A Small, But Handy, Upgrade To Google Reader

Google added a small, but extremely useful feature to its Google Reader RSS reader. While reading a feed, you can go over to a drop-down menu on the same page and rename it, unsubscribe to it, or select which folders it should appear in. Previously, you could just unsubscribe from the main page; if you wanted to rename it or select folders, you had to go to another page, which was inconvenient.

I meant to blog about this earlier in the week, but Lifehacker got to it first. Dagnabbit!

Google Reader is my current favorite RSS reader, and this new feature, while minor, is very handy.
