Google Gears and your productivity

Google recently announced that you are able to take your RSS feeds offline using Google Gears. Dumb Little Man examines this exciting new feature from Google and investigates what kind of effects it will have on your productivity.

The announcement of Google’s latest development, Google Gears, was met with a lot of excitement over the last few days — understandably so. The ability of web applications to work even when off-line is a huge step forward for web software, and even if there aren’t a lot of apps that can take advantage of this yet, the beta release of Gears signals big changes in coming months.

But how will Google Gears change your online life? In more ways than you might think.

Let me first issue a disclaimer: there’s a lot of work that needs to be done on Google Gears, and it will be awhile before enough web apps adopt this feature. It’s not going to change the world, but it’s a start in a new direction.
