  • Google Reader FAQ
1. What is a feed? What does it mean to subscribe?

Websites publish lists of updates—called "feeds"—that indicate when new content has been posted. When you subscribe to a feed, Google Reader starts monitoring that feed for updates. You don't have to give any personal information, it doesn't cost a dime, and it's easy to unsubscribe.

2. How can I subscribe to feeds?

If you know the address of the feed you want to subscribe to, you can just click on the "Add Subscriptions" link and paste the address in the text field that appears. Otherwise, our directory offers an easy way to find and add feeds. Finally, you can find your own feeds.
