However, I figure if I can create a stream of my favorite websites and news sources right inside Google Spreadsheet - where I go every single day anyway - then it'll be far more likely that I'll actually check out the feeds and read some of the updates. I've tried various feed readers through the years, but I've honestly never been able to settle on one that I want to use every single day. So, looking for a more practical, everyday use for my growing collection of Google spreadsheets, I decided to see if I could use one function I haven't covered here at MUO yet called "ImportFeed", to try and develop a personal DIY feeder reader that I could actually make use of every day - rather than installing some desktop application, or visiting some online feed reader service. Sure, that's a lot of stuff, but I've really only scratched the surface of what you can accomplish with a little bit of elbow grease and a bit of creativity using one of Google's greatest offerings - in my humble opinion. If you've followed the recent articles I've written about it, then you know that I've used it to create some really cool reports and charts, I've discovered some ultra-useful functions tucked away in the Google Spreadsheet toolbox, and I've even used it to import UFO sightings information from around the Internet.
