Ionut Alex Chitu over at Google Operating System has spotted a few new updates from the Google camp today. First up is faster RSS updates in Google Reader. Until recently, Google would only update some feeds once an hour, while less popular feeds would only be refreshed every three hours or so. Considering the fact that Google has recently managed to launch search engine technology that manages to index web pages and blogs nearly instantaneously, this always struck us as a bit odd. But Chitu reports that he's starting to notice his feeds being updated almost immediately, and based on our experience with Google Reader so far today, we're inclined to believe him.
Chitu's other discovery of the day is the fact that Google has launched a mobile version of Google Notebook. Again, this shouldn't be that exciting, since Google has long offered mobile versions of most of its services. But so far, Google Notebook has been absent from that list, which was a real shame, because the ability to save web pages and notes on your desktop and access them on your mobile phone seems like a no-brainer to us. Apparently Google has finally agreed, since www.google.com/notebook/m now directs you to a version of Google Notebook optimized for the small screen.
