Google Gears is a small utility which was launched by Google as an extension for Google Reader. This utility allows you to download the posts for offline viewing and then later synchronizes them when you go online.
This can be extremely handy for those who want to check the RSS feeds while they are not connected to the internet or they may want to invest time in going through the feeds.
There are many features & benefits of using Google Gears and here are some of them :
1. Works with Internet explorer and Firefox (didn’t check any other), I think it will work with each browser which runs Google Reader.
2. Feeds work much faster as it doesn’t load up any images & doesn’t refreshes after every few minutes, thus doesn’t use up the memory of the computer regularly.

As every writer knows, we need to organize the document into proper paragraphs under proper headings and sub-headings. And when you want to change the formating, if you had not planned for it, it will drive you insane by the sheer amount of repetitive work.

I hope you understand now, when I say it can drive you insane.
So, here is a tip that you save you all the trouble. continue reading »
