How to add your own news feed in Google Currents

We have already told you on several occasions about one of the news readers most comfortable and useful for smartphones and tablets We mean Google Currents, an application of Google created to collect the news and articles of our favorite media and web pages in one place. In this way we achieve a kind of digital magazine where we can read content comfortably without worrying about the where or the whenAll this supported by a design that helps to readability and with the possibility of sharing any text via social networks.

This application has a good list of media that cover all areas, from technology to economic information, including sports, leisure, political information, etc. And not only that, it is also located in our territory, which means that we have a good selection of Spanish media from which to choose as sources of information. In fact, tuexperto.com was chosen by Google to appear in the Recommended media section after its launch in Spain. But, what happens with those media or web pages that do not appear in these lists and that we want to introduce? Here we explain step by step how to use other sources in Google Currents

Unfortunately Google Currents does not allow include directly this type sources, but there is a method to do it through Google Reader, a web tool with a purpose very similar to Currents Thus, if we have a Google account we can access to the search engine page (www.google.es), click on Más within the top bar and find Google Reader In this tool we can add any article or news blog to collect all the contents or save our subscriptions to these media. We just have to press the button Subscribe and insert the desired web page The good thing is thatGoogle Currents, in turn, collect our Google Reader account

In this way, back in Google Currents, we only have to display the main menu to access Google Reader This tool is displayed as a sourceitself within the selection of Google in this application. Thus, it is necessary to click on Add subscriptions and scroll down to the bottom of the list offered to find it. Here we can click on See all to know in a concrete way all the pages to which we we have subscribed at Google Reader

Next to each page there is a button called Add to be able to use these pages as sources for our personalized digital magazine.Pressing this button creates a new section within our main subscriptions called Feeds This is where our page sources are finally collected , blogs and favorite media not picked up by Google we added from Google Reader These, too, are displayed with a neat look, displaying headlines, leads, and images attractively.

With this we manage to have at hand, under the same application, all the contents that interest us to be read comfortably and at any time. This process is valid for both the Android version and the iOS version, although the visual design is different between the two.
