I use Google Reader to keep up with dozens of different websites without actually visiting each one. (Click here to learn more about RSS and Google Reader in plain English.) Yesterday I visited my Google Reader while accidentally logged in to a different account that had no subscriptions. The result was the same as if I had just signed up for a brand new blank account, in which Google automatically populates Reader with samples from what I assume are the most popular RSS feeds around the world. Many of them weren’t even in English. This was interesting because I got to see things that were completely different from what I normally would have seen in my own Reader (which would have been mostly tech news, television news, After Effects tutorials, and friends’ blogs). Most of the sites were ones I’ve never even heard of before. Here are a few of those posts that I found interesting while skimming through the seemingly random posts that I normally wouldn’t have ever seen.
