Read your Google Reader feeds off-line [Ian's Messy Desk]
More Information
Google Gears (BETA) is an open source browser extension that enables web applications to provide off-line functionality using following JavaScript APIs:
- Store and serve application resources locally
- Store data locally in a fully-searchable relational database
- Run asynchronous Javascript to improve application responsiveness
I’m not much of a tech-head, so I really don’t know what all that means. As near as I can tell, Google Gears will download your subscriptions to your computer and then you can disconnect from the Internet and read them at your leisure. I guess that means, just before heading to the airport, you run Google Gears and then you can catch up on your feed reading while in the air.
I wonder how low it will take before this works with Gmail or Docs and Spreadsheets?
