Good news for those mourning the loss of Google Reader, Google is considering bringing back RSS feeds with a new "follow" feature that may be coming to Google Chrome

If this "experiment," as Google calls it, works, it could make it easier to check your favorite websites without having to rely on notifications, newsletters, or third-party RSS feeds All you have to do is hit the "Follow" button

The Follow system is designed as an open RSS web standard, designed to "build deeper engagement between users and web publishers," according to Google

New content will be accessible through a new "Following" section on the New Tab page It seems pretty easy to keep track of everything

Some Android users in the US who use Chrome Canary (the "alpha" experimental version of Chrome that is updated nightly) will see the Follow feature pop up in the coming weeks

Sadly, it is not clear what Google's rollout plans are, and for the time being, Follow is only an experimental feature

Whether Follow will actually "graduate" and roll out as a stable feature in Chrome is yet to be determined; Google has promised to provide guidance to web publishers as they learn and evaluate the performance of the Follow feature going forward

I would love to see this feature expanded Especially if it would provide a more streamlined RSS experience on laptops I have no complaints with my current RSS client, but it would be nice to have the option of using an RSS client built into the browser

After all, I use RSS feeds for many things as an individual and as part of my daily work routine It makes my life so much easier when I can improve and streamline without paying extra money
