Google Launches Wiider — Uh, Reader For Wii
I had to steal Garett’s joke.
Google has launched a seperate interface for Google Reader that will work on the Nintendo Wii. Just head to Reader on the Wii, or google.com/reader/wii in any browser, and you’ll get an interface designed to work with the Wiimote, with big text and even bigger links. It can even use the remote’s buttons:
Tips and tricks
Google Reader can take advantage of the buttons on your Wiimote, letting you navigate easily from the comfort of your couch:
up/down: scroll up/down
right/left: next/previous item
1 button: show subscriptions
2 button: show links
When showing subscriptions:
up/down: previous/next subscription
right: select current subscription
left: close
-/+: collapse/expand folder
Nintendo’s a good fit for Google, even culture-wise. Maybe they should buy it, to compete with Microsoft’s Xbox, and to have a new ad platform.
